text: Many states have acted on the matter and have a hands free ban while driving. Nobody ever needs to use their phone while driving, you are supposed to be concentrated at all times while behind the wheel. One of the main reasons people are still disregarding this rule is because they're using their phone most times throughout the day and can't be without even while driving. The National safety council reports that phone use while driving causes approximately 1.6 crashes in a single year, also that 1 in every 4 car crashes has to do with phone usage while driving. Laws that were placed on these problems are slowly but surely getting rid of this problem over time.
