text: To begin, one of the main reasons that causes cellphones to be one of the most distracting items is due to the texting and driving. According to the National Safety Council they reported that "cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year". They also reported that "nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. With those outrageously high statistics, I strongly agree with the idea of doing away with cellphones while driving. Also, 94 percent of drivers support a ban on texting while driving and 74 percent support a ban on hand held cell phone use. Having that high of a support percentage shows that are many other people who feel the same as I do. It is a very dangerous problem that is going on in todays day. With myself being a high school student and driver, I can first hand tell you this is a major proem with teens. I see many of my friends and also other students of my school using their cellphones while there driving and putting themselves in dangerous situations. There are many reoccurring issues with cellphones and driving that I'll be sharing more of in this essay.
