text: Sincerely, STUDENT_NAMEPhones and driving aren't a good thing to do at the same time, in fact it's illegal and if the police find you they can fine you from $20-thousands of dollars, Suspension or revocation of driving privileges, Points on one's driving record, Mandatory road safety classes and Vehicle impoundment, especially if great bodily injury resulted from an accident. Every day in the United States around one out of ten people are killed by distracted drivers, and around 1500 are injured in some way in crashes by these irresponsible, distracted drivers. One of the most dangerous, distracting activities that many people do is texting while driving. It is extremely dangerous because people who do this are putting more attention in texting, and they take their eyes off the road while they are driving, which increases the chance that the driver can lose the control of the vehicle, and could cause a crash or even in a worst-case could kill other people. When a person is texting, she/he is thinking about other things besides concentrating on driving. This is very dangerous because it could make the driver lose control of the car and slow her/his brain's reaction time in case of a potential accident.
