text: Having your phone out while your driving is illegal now because of the risks of doing so. You cant even eat or drink while driving because of the hazards. Texting and driving is no joke. It is the number one cause for wrecks in the world and it can also take your life. I think that texting and driving should be illegal because if your lost or have to text somebody you can always pull over to the side of the road and use your phone because you can put not only your life at risk, but everyone else that is in the car as well.   I think students should be aloud to use there cell phone because what if its an important call like your grandpa died or something. I get the no texting thing but what if its important, we need a date or what time. we should be aloud to use them out side of the call in between classes call parents friends. Not in the class but out side of class that would be cool.
