While driving


Last Tuesday it was the day for citizenship at school. Our group was in charge of telling the people about the “No Zone Phone” campaign, and the goal was that they commit to one of the three policies while they are driving (not use the cell phone at all, don’t message, or use free hands). I think that this campaign that started Oprah Winfrey is really important and will really have a great impact because there are many accidents due to the use of cell phones while driving, and people should be conscious of their acts.


In the lasts years driving has become a problem. There have been many accidents from young people because they drive with high speed, or they are drunk, or they are using cell phones. I think that the government should be really strict, first at giving the licenses: not because they drive well in a block that means that they are really good drivers so they should do other exams (as in other countries), also they must make the people respect the speed, and if they see a minor driving without license make the right procedure to pay a ticket, not giving them the money because with this the country doesn’t grow. I consider that if people pay the ticket they could be more conscious of their acts and they won’t do them again because of the consequences, or at least they would try not to do them so the police don’t charge them.


But not only we can put the responsibility in the police, the person who is driving must be conscious of what he or she is doing. They must be aware that in the worse of the cases, they can cause a death if they do something bad.
