text: Driving and usage of phones do cause accidents; it could also cause the driver to run over people. "A staggering 37,461 people were killed on US roads in 2016, an increase of 5.6 percent from the previous year, according to just-released statistics from the US National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration." All of these accidents have occurred ever since phones came out and that's because we all think we are able to multitask. When it comes to driving we need all of our attention on it and not anywhere else because then we don't see people crossing the road. All these deaths are being cause by the fact that we can't leave our phones until we get to our destination.
