Should drivers of automobiles be prohibited from using cellular phones

Driving requires a big amount of concentration in order to keep the road, and ourselves safe. Nowadays, many people have a license without being able to drive in a manner that is responsible. This brings out the question about cell phones. When we think about it there are many other factors that contribute to accidents. Eating, drinking, reaching for fallen objects, applying make up,and taking to passangers are also some other elements that takes the drivers attention away from the road. Cell phones are not an exception, but they can also be very useful. However, they too present a danger for everyone, therefore, I agree that phones use should be prohibited while driving.

Many people die every year from accidents. The vast majority of accidents are as result of careless driving. In some cases the people are lucky enough to get out of it with just some bruises, others are not so lucky. By talking on a cellphone, the drivers attention is more on the conversation than on the road, and in case of an emergency he would not have enough time to react. The education of the consequences that cellphone use has is vital, especially to the younger generation. I have come across people texting while driving. It seems unrealistic that people are doing this sort of things while operating a motor vehicle. So not only phones are a problem when it comes to the road. Anything that keeps the driver's attention away from the road, any distraction is able to cause an accident.

About forty countries in the world have banned the use of phones while driving, others allow the drivers to use them as long as they wear a head set. So far is a good idea to prohibit cell phone use in other countries, so why not here. It is unpredictable what can cause an accident, because sometimes the smallest thing can be a deadly cause. But as long as we are able to take precautions, the chances will be reduced. Another factor that we should have in mind is that of drunk drivers, they are the most common cause of accidents.

To conclude, it is important that every person knows the dangers that talking on the phone has, in addition to all of the other factors mentioned above. People have to take this matter seriously, if they want to put their lives at risk it depends on them, the problem here is that others could be in danger, because of their carelessness. On the other hand, because of the use of phones, police and ambulance can be contacted faster, and the response time is less, which has helped to save people's lives. Therefore, the phone has good uses, but it is good to know when is the right time to use the phone, and when it should be put away. The negative consequences are more than that of the positive ones, for this reason, is best for phones to be prohibited from the roads.

Driving requires a (great deal) of concentration in order to keep the road, and ourselves safe.
Nowadays, many people have a license without being able to drive in a manner that is responsible.
This (raises) the question (of) cell phones.

When we think about it there are many other factors that contribute to accidents. Eating, drinking, reaching for fallen objects, applying make up,and talking to passengers are also some other elements that take the drivers attention away from the road.
Cell phones are not an exception, but they can also be very useful.
However, they too present a danger for everyone, therefore, I agree that (their) use should be prohibited while driving.

Many people die every year from accidents.
The vast majority of accidents are as (a) result of careless driving.
In some cases the people are lucky enough to get out of it with just some bruises, others are not so lucky.
(When) talking on a cellphone, the drivers attention is more on the conversation than on the road, and in (the) case of an emergency he would not have enough time to react.
The education of the consequences that cellphone use has is vital, especially to the younger generation.
I have come across people texting while driving.
It seems unrealistic that people are doing this sort of thing while operating a motor vehicle.
So (it's) not only phones (that) are a problem when it comes to (using) the road.
Anything that (takes) the driver's attention away from the road, any distraction (at all) is (liable) to cause an accident.

About forty countries (around) the world have banned the use of phones while driving. Others allow drivers to use them as long as they wear a head set.
So far (it) is a good idea to prohibit cell phone use in other countries, so why not here?

What can cause an accident is unpredictable, because sometimes the smallest thing can be a deadly cause.
But as long as we are able to take precautions, the chances will be reduced.
Another factor that we should (bear) in mind is that of drunk drivers, they are the most common cause of accidents.

To conclude, it is important that every person knows the dangers that talking on the phone (whilst driving) brings, in addition to all of the other factors mentioned above. People have to take this matter seriously. If they want to put their lives at risk it (is up to) them.
The problem here is that others could (also) be (put) in danger because of their carelessness.

On the other hand, because of the use of phones, police and ambulance can be contacted faster, and the response time (reduced), which has helped to save people's lives.
Therefore, the phone has (many) good uses, but it is good to know when is the right time to use it, and when it should be put away.
The negative consequences (far outweigh) the positive ones, so for this reason, it is best that phones be prohibited from the roads.
