I'm sure plenty of you have either come across this case or have been guilty of doing so. Today cell phones have become a source of life for many. Therefore, they live with their phones in their vehicles as well. Talking on the phone while driving, or even texting while driving has become a big part on the road today. It leads to accidents, especially for the younger generation of drivers. It can lead to terrible incidents such as death and can cause a lag in the one driving.
For myself, I've come across too many driver's to count who either talk or text while driving. I can speak for myself and say for a handful it has become a habit and that for a following driver it can be very tedious to deal with. Constantly, the driver is either late on the pull off for when the traffic light turns green or they keep stepping on their brakes while driving because they are too occupied talking with someone else on the other line.
The talking doesn't bother me too much, however if a law were to be passed about it, then I would prefer that if one must talk through the phone while driving then a speaker or Bluetooth should be used. As for texting and driving, personally, I disagree with the whole idea of the two. It is entirely dangerous for not only the one texting, but for those around him/her. The one texting and driving keeps their eyes and mind focused on their phone instead of the road. For this matter, it can be pretty risky especially how some drive today. The younger driver's like myself, are always on their phone (at least the majority) and it can lead to many fatal incidents for our age group and those who have the privilege of driving.
Basically, my question(s) are asking what are your thoughts or opinions on this matter. Do you yourself talk/text while driving or have you come across others who have? Do you think it is something that shouldn't be allowed or at least restricted to?
I checked around for a thread like this to see if this same discussion was made, but I couldn't find any of recent dates. So, if one has been brought up before, my apologies.
