One of our major problems at now days is that people are not understanding how dangerous it Is driving and using your cell phone. Just Imagine your self driving in a road and you cover your eyes for 5 full seconds, off course you will end up in a wall or in the tree. This is how dangerous it is. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen Today I will talk and discuss the causes of using cell phone while driving and how dangerous it is and the world statistics of car accidents caused by using cell phone while driving and what are the solution for that problem. Is it really that important to stay connected during every hour of the day? According to world accidents, many accidents are blamed on distracted driving and most of the distractions are caused by cell phone usage. Most drivers today have such busy lives and never have time to get the things they need to do completed in one day’s time. This leaves them to get things done while on the road. Checking emails is a top priority for 70% of the worlds and since many have smart phones, they will do it on the road as well as send text messages and calls. This is the cause of using cell phones while driving.
While driving, adults and teenagers cannot resist the urge to pick up their cell phone and send a text or respond to one. When the driver hears the vibrate or ring, nothing can stop them from checking the notification on their phone. As soon as the driver’s eyes meet their cellular device, their focus on the road is drawn away, some of them survive but the other some don’t.
National Safety Council Estimates that at Least 1.6 Million Crashes Each Year Involve Drivers Using Cell Phones and Texting. 56% of teenagers admit to talking on their cell phones behind the wheel, while 13% admit to texting while driving. 52% of 16 and 17 year-old teen drivers confess to making and answering cell phone calls on the road. 34% admit to text messaging while driving. Teens themselves confirm that texting is their number one driving distraction. 11% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. This age group has the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted. Each year, 21% of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 were the result of cell phone usage. This result has been expected to grow as much as 4% every year.

The lives of innocent people are being taken every day due to a simple distraction. Car crashes are four times more common to take place while the driver is on their mobile device over any other causes. While talking on the phone, it is easier to still keep focused on the road in front of the driver. When they engage in a text message, it’s not possible to look in both directions at once, therefore all of their focus goes straight to the screen of the cell phone. It’s hard for all drivers, especially teenagers, to put down the cell phone and put their hands on the wheel, which results in many car crashes. So as u see talking in the phone is a bit better than texting while driving.

If people would open their eyes to the dangers of texting while driving, less car accidents would take place every year and the roads would be much safer. Distracted drivers need to know the position they put others in as well as themselves. While behind the wheel, drivers should never direct their attention to their cell phone and should always keep their eyes on the road. Put it away. Out of sight, out of mind! Turn your phone off and keep it somewhere you won’t see it, like in your bag or in the back seat. This will keep your mind off of wanting to respond to incoming messages.
Silence is safe. It’s hard to ignore your phone when you hear the “bbrringg” sound. By putting your phone on silent, you can avoid being tempted. Just think how awesome it will be to not be interrupted when you’re rocking out to your favorite song (safely, of course).
Designated Texter. Get one of your friends to be the designated texter who can read the messages and respond to them. You won’t miss a beat with your BFF manning the phone.
Those are some solutions for driving and texting.

Thankyou.
