Question

Although some states and cities have passed laws to ban texting and using handheld phones while driving, there is no current law to ban all cell phone use while driving. However, according to the National Safety Council (2009), 28 percent of all crashes—1.6 million per year—are caused by cell phone use and texting by drivers. The mission of a new national nonprofit organization called FocusDriven, patterned after Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is to make phone use while driving as illegal and socially unacceptable as drunk driving.
Based on the gaps in current research dealing with cell phone use and texting, describe the variables, populations, and situations which you would like to see future research address.

Answer 1

okay, with the advancement in the techniques the smartphones today have become so common every person carry's one or sometimes two cell phones with them, coming with better technologies day by day and the increasing competition the big companies brands launch new sets of cellphones with many amusing features and at affordable prices that anyone can buy one cell phone hence the result of which is every person has access to cell phones now.

same goes for vehicles, but the combination of both is a lethal one. it can be dangerous for you if you're using both at the same time.

Reasons;

• people use them while driving because usually now most of them have busy schedules and more than half of their work is being instructed or carried out on the cellphones hence they take the risk of utilising this time ( Driving ) by taking up phone calls or texting
• Another reason is people have got so much addicted to these that they cannot avoid their cellphones anytime. that ping of a text message coming makes them curious to know what is it and they keep on using it.

Suggestions;-

• My suggestion would be that the researches should address and focus on the youth most importantly they are the ones filled with energy who are multitasking and who does this drunken driving the most. there should be more amount of fine fixed for children with certain age, as children do not such important work which can not be postponed while driving but sometimes the adult has.
• initiatives should be taken by these phone brands and software companies to give inbuilt features in the phone where there is a driving mode where the cellphone gives automated answers to the people calling or texting at that time.
• there should also be an appreciation of work done without cellphones alarms set on the alarm clock rather than your cellphones, reminders on diaries rather than on cell phones. depending upon the cellphones is also dangerous.
