text: The best ways to prevent these accidents are with laws and education. Teaching young adults early in school is essential to have them remember the lessons later in life. The education system should take charge of incorporating lessons on road safety and phone use each year of a student's educational career to help them recognize the danger they could put themselves in when driving and looking at a phone in their hands. The earlier they start, the more educated they would be, and the less likely they would be to make the wrong decision later in life. After a student has graduated, strict road laws on phones and driving should be a regular reminder of their education, and not to put themselves and other people at risk. Legislation should be passed in every state regarding phone use in the car and make it reach out to citizens effectively. This would significantly reduce the number of vehicle fatalities each year.
