text: I do believe that people should be allowed to make phone calls via voice but any use of the device can cause a huge hazard to yourself and others. A car can travel the length of 2 football fields in the time span of 5 seconds, and that's approximately how long it takes to send a message. If you only make phone calls that will prevent the need to glance at your phone and respond to it as well. Especially in this age we have devices that will respond to your voice when you say "Call Dad!"
