Read the passage then answer the questions that follow. Texting or using a cell phone while driving is very hazardous. This negligent act causes a great amount of car accidents every year (Copeland 2). While driving, adults and teenagers cannot resist the urge to pick up their cell phone and send a text or respond to one. As soon as the driver’s eyes meet his/her cellular device, the focus on the road is drawn away. Every year, about 421,000 people are injured in crashes that have involved a driver who was distracted in some way. Each year, 330,000 accidents caused by texting while driving lead to severe injuries. This means that over 78% of all distracted drivers are distracted because they have been texting while driving (Copeland 5). Further, car crashes are four times more common to take place while the driver is on their mobile device over any other causes (Mulgrew 8). When people engage with a text message, it’s not possible to look in both directions at once; therefore, all of their focus goes straight to the screen of the cell phone. It’s hard for all drivers, especially teenagers, to put down the cell phone and keep their hands on the wheel, and this negligence results in many dangers, and even deadly car crashes.
