text: I can honestly say that I have seen multiple people get in real bad car accidents while looking at their phone. Even my own sister got into an accident because she wouldn't stay off her phone. I think banning cell phone usage in a car while driving is good. Having cell phones while driving isn't safe for others or yourself while driving. It can cause accidents, killing a lot of people, and possibly killing yourself over a text message , a silly video, or a phone call. That's why there is a law that says, it's illegal to drive and text at the same time, or hold your phone to your ear while driving.
