I recently read an article called More than half of Colorado teen driver’s text message and it talked about how student drivers text message while they are driving.” Fifty-one percent of Colorado teen drivers admitted to text messaging and 66 percent said they used their cell phones while driving, according to results of a survey released today”. This is not ok and people should do something about it. In schools they should talk about how it’s not safe to use your phone while driving because it could lead to a severe accident or death.

This relates to me because in two years I will be driving and I know for a fact I won’t be using my phone and if I am it will be through a wireless set up. That’s what I think is strange is that people took the time to make these wireless set ups and people, especially teens don’t get them and then they get into accidents. This goes along with the remember club in my school I think also. Buckling your seatbelt is very important just like not using a phone while driving is dangerous. It’s a distraction and I’m glad people are pulled over for it because they are making the roads an unsafe place.

This relates to the world because everyone uses there phone or does something while driving. Congratulations if you don’t and those people are making the roads safer but for all the people that put on make up and maybe read or in this case use their phone, you are making the roads an unsafe place to be. I think we as a country and world should do something about multi-tasking while driving because it’s becoming a problem.
