Using a cell phone while driving has become a major problem in the United States. California Highway Patrol statistics show that cell-phone use is the top cause of accidents triggered by distracted drivers since 2001. Texting while driving is about 6 times more likely to result in an accident than drunk driving. Talking on a cell phone while driving can make a young driver’s reaction time as slow as that of a 70-year-old. By simply putting away your phone while driving, you are helping to reduce the number of car accidents and saving lives.
