Why Is Texting And Driving Dangerous?

I somewhat agree with your stance on the subject. It is indeed dangerous to use a cell phone in order to text while driving. It does make sense for the government to pass a law and prohibit texting and driving. I can understand some of the points that you have made concerning the issue of how people's privacy will be invaded. I agree that there is no way to tell for sure that a person is actually using a cell phone while driving. A car is barely visible when it comes to looking from the outside towards the inside which can explain why the police officer used in your example had trouble catching people texting while driving. Using your phone as a GPS is understandable, however, I believe that inputting a destination while one is driving over
65 miles per hour on a highway or 25 miles in some neighborhood is not at all reasonable. One should input the destination they want to travel to before driving their car. If one has to recalculate their destination, it would make sense for them to find a place to stop rather than continuing driving. It can be very difficult to make a decision as big as this but whatever the government chooses, I'm sure it has the people's best interests at heart.
