text: Car accidents can happen very fast and most of the causes for them is texting and driving. Texting and driving is not a safe option epically if you have others in the car with you. "Cell phones caused 26 percent of car accidents in the U.S. in 2014. Text messaging causes 5 percent of crashes" it is important that you know when to use your mobile device while on the road. You should be able to have your phone in your presence though, while driving. If something has gone wrong, you shouldn't be trapped without a phone on the side of the road, instead you should be able to use your phone in case of an emergency.
