Danger on the road

I believe Texas should pass a law that would stop people from using their cell phones while driving and should only be used with a hands free device. Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year. Now by having hands free devices I believe we could at least cut that number in half. Now the only state I know that has a law like this is California, and I believe Texas should be part of that law to, by doing drivers will be more aware of their surrounding and also reducing traffic congestions.

Now I know some people might not agree with this and some of their excuses are that they can’t afford a Bluetooth and etc. but a lot of these cell phones come with a headset when you buy the phone and there also only like $12 for a wired one. But I hope the Texas government considers in passing a law like this.

I also think that teen driver are another reasons for deaths on the road, they should make the teens under the age of 18 harder to get there license and not so easy to pass the test and also the driving test.

But in conclusion the Texas government should try to pass a law for the cell phones and should make it a priority for the safety of other drivers.
