text: Cell phone usage while driving isn't very safe at all. When you are using it, you aren't really paying attention to the road. It's a safety hazard with a lot of people driving and using their phone. In the united states alone, just fifteen years ago, there were only 4.3 million people that use cell phones. Today there are 224 million people that use them as of now. Your cell phone gets used everywhere you go such as the shopping and trying to find the item you need or even when you are making a list to go to the store to buy school supplies. People talk on their phones everyday while they drive or even around the house to keep in contact with others.
