text: Although cell phones haven't been around for the longest time, they have become an essential part of our lives. Cars and other vehicles have become great assets in daily life as well. Combining the two, however, is a terrible idea. Texting and driving is extremely dangerous, and leads to nearly a million and a half crashes per year. It switches the focus from the road to your hand, and makes you a weapon, capable of easily ending someone's life. Texting and driving is a product of this generation because it takes your attention off the road, is caused by a lack of responsibility, and causes a forth of all car accidents per year.
