Today's society has become dependent on cell phones, especially while driving. When a person uses their phone while driving, they become involved in the conversation and do not pay attention to the road. You see drivers speeding, going to slow and even weaving across the road.
There have been fatal accidents because of phone useage while behind the wheel. Just recently, a girl was texting and collided with a motorcycle head on. It killed the man driving the motorcycle on impact. Another incident was a young girl was talking on her phone in a road construction site. She nearly hit the man flagging. She ran up on the putting greens at a country club.
I think the police should start writing tickets when they see someone using their cell phone. To me it's no different than wearing a seat belt. If people had to pay fines for cell phone useage, they might think twice before using that phone.
