Surprise: Texting & Driving Is A Dangerous Game

This is absolutely NOT A SURPRISE at all!!!
We don't need numerous expensive studies and surveys just to prove the hazards of cellphone use while driving vehicles. Its just common sense. Statistics showed that its about 23 percent more risky for drivers to crash their cars while using the phone as compared to those drivers focusing their attention on the road.

There is indeed a need to stop the use of cellphones while driving vehicles or even ban it completely. NOW, COME ON....lower the notch a little bit. I myself is not amenable to the total ban of cellphones on the road. What's the use of headsets for cellphones? Although making a call with the use of headsets does not provide 100% safety on the road but talking with your companions inside the car while you are driving is not that safe either. There are people, including myself, who considers cellphone as an important part of our daily lives so I might be one of these techie people who would rally against the total ban of cellphones on the road. Lets take advantage of the fast advancement of technology specially with mobile phones. There are phones right now that has speaker phones capability. Bluetooth wireless technology is quite common nowadays for wireless headphones and speakerphones. Its a worthy investment to consider buying these phone accessories for the sake of improving the safety of drivers and commuters on the road.
