The answer to that is no, a smartphone offers too many distractions such as social media, games, videos, and much more. This is evident by recent laws such as the hands off law, which prohibits drivers from touching their device while driving. This is also evident by car accidents caused by one or more drivers being too occupied by their smartphone. With this being said, smartphones are definitely a hazard while used on the road.
