text: As you can see, driving while using a cell phone is unsafe and may result in serious and even deadly consequences. It is so dangerous that cell phone use in the car is compared to drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs. If you think about it, in both situations the driver's awareness is altered. I am going to give you three reasons why cell phone use should be banned. The first reason why cell phone use should be banned is because it is very distracting. When we are talking on the phone or texting while driving, our attention is on our phone rather than the road. Secondly, this distraction had caused numerous car accidents that have resulted in deaths and seriously injured people. The third and final reason that cell phone use should be banned in cars is because cell phone users are reckless as drunk drivers. Since accidents are occurring more frequently, cell phone users are being compared to drunk drivers due to the recklessness of their driving and lack of awareness.         Dear Principal,
