Main idea 3

I) Reducing Distracted Driving(2010)

II) Problem: Related psychological problems for many young teens and young adults

are increasingly problematic and affecting them in everyday life.

Solution: Have support groups with people experiencing the same thing, listen to

motivational speakers, and suggest that they stop driving for a certain amount of

time.

i. If I hold up my phone right at the top of my

stirring wheel then I can easily see the road and all of my surroundings,

plus I can still send all the messages I want to my friends.

Argument- One is actually taking a bigger risk by doing this action,

because it is not only blocking vision of some surroundings of the driver,

but also it is in one’s peripheral vision while attempting to multitask.

ii. Losing a family member, friend, or even someone you just met is a tough

thing to do, especially if you could have helped prevented it. The first

way to prevent this is to just put down the phone when you drive.

Conclusion

I) In conclusion, texting and driving affects not only the driver, but also victims in

the same car, the other car in the accident, and all of the friends and family that

are involved with the people which are involved in the accident.

II) Texting and Driving is a problem for people of all ages because it is illegal, the

rate of accidents and injuries is rising, and related psychological problems are

becoming more of a factor in everyday life.

III) Everyone has issues that they have to deal with, but breaking the law does no

good for anyone. Distractions are presented at any given time, but one can choose

not to distract themselves with electronics to prevent any accidents while driving.

Emotions can drive everyone crazy which can be helped, but also prevented when

not in use of phones during texting and driving.

IV) Don’t be another statistic when it comes to texting and driving. Be considerate of

others around you. If you have to be on your phone, pull over to the side of the

road. Do not worry about what anybody else thinks just turn your blinker on and

get over. You might think you are fine driving, but someone or something can

easily dart out of nowhere. Those few split seconds you lost because of texting

can mean the difference between life and death.
