text: Phone use while driving is a very bad habit for a lot of drivers. Being on your phone while driving is how most teens get in car wrecks. Cell phones have took over most of these teens lifes. You know it's crazy when a person is willing to risk their life to text somebody back or get on social media. People die everyday in car accidents just because they was on their cell phone while driving. We are all attached to our cell phones it doesn't make no sense. A lot of teens are very guilty of using a cell phone while driving. 94% of teens know that it's dangerous but 34% of them still do it anyways. Studies say that approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phone while driving. Texting while driving has lead up to 1.6 million crashes in a year. 1 out of 4 car crashes are caused by texting while driving. Most teens will probably own up to phones while driving. The thing about it is that teens are not the only ones texting while driving. There area lot of adults who do it also. When you are talking on a cell phone it is worse than talking to your passenger. Everytime the driver gets a message or a notification they feel as if they also have to look and respond back to it. I feel as if using a cellphone while driving should be banned and against the law. Everytime you take a look at your phone you are putting not only your life but everybody in the car with you in danger. If it is an emergency i feel as if you need to pull over to the side of the road and text or call who ever it is back. Even if the device is hands free it is still dangerous cause you wont be focused on the road you will be focused on if the device is working or not. When you're talking to someone your brain is not all the way focused on the road it's putting energy in the conversation that y'all are having. It can wait until you reach your destination. Because when you text while drive you have to completely move your hands off the wheel and eyes off the road.   my name is STUDENT_NAME
