The use of cellular phones has spread in the last ten years. It has become a part of everyday life for many American citizens, and a good number of people depend on them to carry out daily operations. Unfortunately, many of these daily operations occur while the individual is driving. As a result, many accidents have taken place in the last ten years due to the use of cellular phones while on the road. This leads me to believe that if people can"t concentrate on the road while talking on a cell phone they shouldn"t talk at all while driving. In the driving class we were shown a video and it was a interview with a lady who had lost her daughter because of someone using their cell phone while driving. It really was a sad story and this is why I think that there should be more safety precautions need to be taken.
Many good aspects come from cellular phones in the car. For example, accidents get reported to 911 rapidly, traffic updates occur more often because citizens call and report back ups. And drivers who need to be taken off the road because of being intoxicated or just plain reckless will be located quicker and easier. And this may prevent people from killing others in drunk driving cases. However, more safety precautions need to be taken for individuals who will be talking on their phones while driving. Phones are being created today in which offer a hands-free cell phone so that you can keep both hands on the wheel while driving and talking. Some of these come in the form of headsets and give the user a voice activated dial, which allows you to talk into the speaker, and the number will instantly be dialed. Already this has eliminated the chance of your hands being off the wheel and depleted the act of dialing the phone. Both which allow you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. One of the most recent advancement in cellular technology is a hands-free phone kit. This kit turns your cell phone into a speakerphone.
