text: Some excuses may be, my mom is sick, I was checking on a family member, I was calling into work, etc... Many people take advantage of those so called,"excuses". If you need to use the phone that badly, pull over and make the call. Don't risk the lives of others to call your best friend and tell her about your day. Being a distracted driver isn't okay and it isn't cool. Using a cell phone while driving is illegal in the state of Georgia, yet people do it anyways. Nothing is more important than your own life, or others. So as a result, I do believe that using a cellular device while operating a motor vehicle should be prohibited by law.   Students would benefit more from being able to attend classes from home rather then at school. Imagine being able to attend classes from home by online or video conferencing. You wouldnt have to worry about getting ready in the morning or if there's gas in your car because you don't have to leave the house. Although, some say its more beneficial to attend classes from school because, students can get easily distracted when they are at home believe that there's no teachers to tell them to get back on task.
