text: Due to a report of accidents that happened in 2018 about "40,000 people lost their lives to car crashes" and 4,637 of those people died in the crash due to cell phone usage. Texting and driving can cause about 5 times as many accidents as drunk driving. Technology has grown and so has the usage of cellphones. Nowadays people use their phone to locate the nearest coffee shop or to watch their shows, the thing is they watch it at the most inappropriate time. Instead of focusing on the road the driver puts all their attention towards the phone causing them to swerve into the other lane or hit another car that's slowing down on the highway. In the state of Georgia there was a bill that was passed known as the House Bill 673. This bill is also known as the `Hands Free Law ' ''. This law basically says that under no condition should the cellphone be in the driver's hand at any time. The consequence of this bill is a "Fine of $50-$150 depending on the offence" (Google). With this bill passed many more civilians will be able to not use their phone and be less likely to get into accidents because if the driver gets caught with it they will have to pay a fine and get a point on their license.
