In recent days bans on the use of cell phones in driving have been heatedly discussed both online and offline. It is said that 6 out of 10 of car accidents are caused by cell phones and alcohol. The hazardous part alcohol plays in car accidents has been recognized since vehicle came into being and official bans on after-alcohol driving have been performed in most countries and regions all over the globe. But talking on cell phone in driving.
However, is not inhibited officially in most countries until now. Nevertheless, the rising number of car accidents due to cell phone conversations has provoked unprecedented attention to the issue of banning the use of cell phones among drivers in the United States. As for me, I really agree that it is not good to have mobile phone conversations while driving cars, but I don't think it necessary to prohibit cell phones in driving cars.
It is commonly realized that mobile phone conversations are a significant distraction for those who are driving, but similarly, people are well aware of the possible risks using cell phones while driving. That is, it is all about whether people are willing to risk lives to use mobile phones in driving or not. For serious life lovers, they would undoubtedly reject to answer the coming phone calls in driving, or to pull over immediately and park the car to answer the phone call. For don't care much about risks, they know the risk of course, but they are likely to put their lives on luck. "Yes, car accidents caused by cell phone conversations happen every day, but I won't be that unfortunate to run into such accidents" thoughts like this root deeply in the hearts of this group of people. Consequently, they choose to put aside the risks and use cellular phones when they need to.
On the one hand, the bans on mobile phones among drivers may facilitate to reduce car accidents, but only on the condition that people will observe the banning rules. I mean, even bans are placed on cell phones among drivers, people may ignore the policy and keep on to use cell phones in driving, like those who drive after drinking alcohol despite of the bans - they are not afraid of getting tickets. Of course, like before, they don't think they would be that unfortunate to run into car accidents just because they use cell phones in driving.
On the other hand, the bans may upset those who often use cellular phones either for work or for personal stuff. Among these people, while some are luck-riskers, most of them take great measures to avoid car accidents. For example, use hands-free cell phone accessories including headphone with microphone, Bluetooth, etc. In some sense, prohibition on cell phones in driving is just unnecessary as smart people can figure out ways to protect themselves from car accidents in using mobile phones. What would people feel when they failed to answer the urgent phone call while he is driving just because he doesn't want to violate the banning rules? The call may mean a career chance or a business turning point! In addition, since cell phones become dominating among the masses, it would be difficult for people to change their habit of picking incoming phone calls on time. They would be even more distracted by the phone calls if refuse to answer them as they can't help thinking about stuff like who is calling, what is the call about, etc.
All in all, I incline to say that bans on cellular phones are not a wise option to minimize car accidents. What we are supposed to do is to enhance the knowledge of the harm of having cellular phone conversations carelessly while driving. And the crucial point is: drivers should learn to take good care of.
