I was on my way to work,but i forgot to tell my husband i love him. So i took out my cellphone, as i crossed highway 55 into oncoming traffic. I over-corrected, i lost control of my car, and then it felt like i was in a washing machine. Then all of a sudden, i flipped and flying in the air. Then in a split second i had people running all around me and all i could say is "I'm paralyzed"...."I'm paralyzed". I couldn't sit up, eat,or even bathe on my own. I was a 31 year old baby............
    There are many reasons why it should be banned. I causes the driver to think about something else other than driving. It also causes the driver to have to look away from the road and dial numbers respond to a text and even hang up and answer the phone. It also stops the drivers concentration, because the cant hear they may be a police car behind them trying to go around or even an ambulance truck with a dying person in it.Cellphones should never be used while driving no matter what the case is.
    Using cellphones while driving is the cause for many accidents that can lead to injuries or even death.Whenever someone uses their phone when they're driving they never think about what can happen to another person or even them.For example say you look down at your phone and you take you eyes off the road for two seconds while your not looking at the road you can run into the car in front of you or swerve into other lanes which can cause one huge accident and many lives would be getting put on the line and not just yours. All this because you wanted to reply to a text or make a dumb phone call.
    Some statistics on using our phone while driving is that driving makes a driver 23x more likely to crash.Studies show that texting while driving causes a 400% increase in time spent with eyes off the road.In 2012, 3,328 people were killed in distracted-related crashes. According to the Insurance Institute for highway safety, texting while driving kills 20 teens each day.
    In conclusion cellphones should never be used while driving, because innocent people can die and your putting your life on the line for something that can wait.
