Using your Phone While Driving
As of July 1, 2008, drivers are prohibited from using a wireless telephone while operating a vehicle, unless they use a hands free device. Even though this is a law, how many people actually follow it? Many people still continue to text or talk on the phone while driving and don’t realize the consequences. Using a phone while driving can causes dangerous accidents, and can risk people’s lives.
Some King City High School students were asked what they thought of the law.
Darcee Ramos replied, “I agree with the law, but I do use my phone to talk while driving, if I text I’ll crash.”
Guillermo Aguirre said, “Yeah, I agree with the law, and if I need to talk on the phone I just put it on speaker.”
People who violate this law will face a fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense. Rather than spending your money on a fine, just wait to use your phone. It doesn’t take much to put it on speaker.
Using your phone while driving causes you to focus your attention more on what you’re saying instead of on the road. This could cause you to get in an accident.
Many people overlook the consequences when it comes to using their phone while driving. When driving think safe, what’s more important; making that call or someone’s life?
