text: Cell phones have become a part of our everyday lives. We are so focused on what's going on with the device that we are risking our daily lives. Using a handheld phone can be very dangerous and lead to multiple car accidents. It can be a life changing accident instantly. You may think you can do it for a second but it's not safe at all. The problem is people don't think it is a problem and that's why it's still going on. "Monkey see monkey do", is similar because if adults do it then young drivers will think they can do it too, which is one of the causes of this issue. According to reports "before you go to bed 9 people die because of texting and driving". This is more serious than most people think. One day you could be on the road and another car hit you because they are paying attention to the phone and not the road.
