text: Teens today are distracted by their phones because they want to see what their friends are doing or what a certain celebrity is doing and it is safe if they are doing that at home but if they are looking at their phone weather it is looking at social media or texting a friend while driving that is unsafe for everyone around them. Teens should not be able to use their phones while driving or even operate a vehicle if they know they are going to look at their phone at some point. Some teens will tell you that they know how to drive while using their phone at the same time or they would probably even tell you that they have been looking at their phone while driving for so long that they have not been in an accident, but even if that is the case those teens should not be able to drive because as stated so many times now, it is unsafe to text/ look at your phone while operating a vehicle because it is unsafe. On the other hand, you may look at your phone to help you out instead of letting your phone distract you while driving a vehicle.
