Texting and driving is one of my biggest pet peeves. Everyday I see someone around me texting and driving, swerving in the road or just not paying 100 percent to what is going on. My friends and I texted or gtalk from our smart phones just as much as the next person; yet when it comes to driving we are all 100 percent on avoiding killing someone or ourselves/friends. Instead we will call each other or wait on responding until we are at a stop or not in the car.
I drive back and forth from Warrensburg and Kansas City during the days I have class. I notice that even on the highway you can see people using their phones to text with. This is not safe nor is it legal. The state of Missouri has banned texting while driving, yet most people still attempt to kill themselves.
How can we stop this? That is the question of the day. Maybe make some kind of device in the phone that when it feels itself going faster then a person can walk does not allow people to type on it? But, this would upset the majority of teenagers and young businessmen. Maybe we just need to advance technology to a point where the phone knows what you want to text and who to. There is multiple ways we could go about resolving this issue and it is the future generation that will get to see.
