text: In majority of car accidents, driving while using a cell phone is what causes most of them. It's gotten to the point that certain states in america have passed laws to stop using a cellular device while driving. Though, some states have alter the punishments depending on age and the situation and some states have benefit for only using phones for GPS. Regards of what is happening, phones shouldn't be used for safety reasons. In Georgia, the state has a law that makes holding a phone illegal while driving. Georgia is the 16th state to pass the hand-free law. Reading from a phone and recording videos on the device is banned from being used (Governor's office of highway safety). Having the law give restrictions on texting,calling and even using the cellular device can help better drivers focusing on keeping the attention on the vehicles on the road.
