These days you cannot go in public and find a place free of cell phones. Cell phones are a huge part of American lives. Throughout the United States laws have been made prohibiting the use of cell phone use while driving. Such a law has not officially been passed in Florida, however a Florida legislation is working hard to get it done. Most of us find ourselves using our phones while driving and not even realizing it. Whether its for directions, texting, internet, or a phone call, people find some great excuse to use their phone while driving. What people don't realize is how dangerous it is. They don't realize how many people have died because of the distraction of their cell phones. Personally I believe the law should get passed. I am definitely one who is guilty of being on my phone while driving. Though I say it only happens when I'm at a red light, it's not true. I believe this law would help me be more aware of what I'm doing while I'm driving, and hopefully stop the clutch braking I have to do every day.
I completely agree that texting while driving should be made illegal. The sad truth though, is that won't stop people without proper enforcement. Drinking and driving has been illegal for years, but I still know people that do it because they haven't been caught. It is a tricky situation :/
