text: Allowing yourself to be a distracted driver not only shows your disregard for others but also shows the lack of self control you posses with technology. I believe cell phones have become an addiction. Many people can't live without them and are constantly on them. Cell phones have become more and more convenient and connected to the world. It can sometimes be hard to accept the fact that it is not a necessity to have on at all times. There are plenty of excuses that people often use. But there is bluetooth in many newer model cars, and bluetooth headsets, which is still no excuse.
