The cell phone text messaging is a current major popular culture. It is on the news every time you turn it on. So many states are make it against the law it you are caught while driving. Several counties in Ohio have already made it a law that if you caught texting while driving which is very dangerous you will be facing a very stiff fine. Maryland is the eighth state that has it a law that you cannot even hold your cell phone while driving. This is when you put it on speaker or have it come through the car radio with the In Sync which is a Ford product.
To me this is the best thing that the government could have done. It is too bad that it had to take few accidents to open some one’s eyes. It should be that teenagers should not be able to drive and use their cell phones at all. May all car manufactures should make it so that you can use your cell phone through the radio and not have to use the phone. The buttons to answer the cell phone is on your steering wheel and all you need to do is tap that button and it will answer the phone for you. You can even change the radio stations with this same button. You can make a phone call the same way. You just say how you want to call and it will make the call for you.
There needs to be a team started that is Parent’s Against Texting. There could be one out there but I don’t know about it and could not find anything about it. I just made up the name. But all states need to make it a law that no one is allowed to drive and text at the same time. Maybe who ever created a cell phone that you can text on needs to take them off the market and this would have never started. To me this as dangerous as drunk driving and I do not intake alcoholic beverages but I am guilty of driving and talking on my cell phone. The only reason anyone needs a cell phone is to make an emergency phone call. There is no reason anyone needs to text and drive at the same time.
