Week # 4 - Ban Texting While Driving

1) Write a short response to the above statement on how you feel about the ban. Do you agree with it or not and why. Also, do you think their should be an age limitation on the ban?

- I feel that it is a great thing that texting is being banned in some states and being considered to be banned by others. I must admit that I truly would be annoyed to the fact that i can not text. This is because, honestly, I do text a lot while driving. It is something that i just can not control. But i think that since now it is being triggered by a lot of cops to pull people over due to texting, that it might decrease my use of using my cell phone to text. This will result in a less chance of me getting into an accident and causing trouble. I think that more states should take into consideration about doing something to lessen and decrease the usage of texting while driving for drivers. Texting is something that can cause a accident easily. It puts the lives of innocent people and your self in danger. It should definitely be stopped.
- I do not believe that their should be a limitation on the ban of texting while driving. That is being unfair. Age should take be a factor in determining who should be allowed to text or not. I dont see how age plays any factor. Texting while driving is not a good task to do, period. The age of someone doing it does not play any factor. Weather you are 30 years old or 18 years old, you are still doing the same thing and are impaired the same way as well.

2) How does this connect to the article on cell phone use and the comparison to driving under the influence?

-This connects to the article on cell phone and the comparison to driving under the influence because all of these articles show the all three tasks are dangerous and cause accidents to occur. No matter which on you are doing, you are still putting a risk of danger to ones life by doing so. It needs to stop and is all being considered by many states to be banned and limited to occur.
