IT'S TIME TO END DISTRACTED DRIVING.

Today when I was in my way to a friends house I took a chance to look outside the car window, and suddenly I saw how a girl was about to create a huge accident. The reason of the girl was that she was texting a message on her cellphone. So I started thinking and I got to a conclusion that millions of people talk, text, and sometimes e-mail on their cellphones while driving. But if you think you can do whatever of the things I mentioned above, let me tell you you can not. Things can wait and a message while driving do not wait for you, they can kill you in a second. Almost 60 percent of the society accepted that they use their cellphones while driving. So let me tell you, you are not the only living person in streets families, kids, and granpa's are there. Open your eyes and see how you can destroy a family by turing downside to your cell to send a message. Driving and talking is as harmful as driving with alcohol influence. When I arrived home I strated looking about a campaign that my ethics teacher talked about in our last class. the campaign was proposed by Oprah and I got to say this is one of the best things I have know recently. So I invite to STOP using cells whinle driving and to be aware remeber your life is also in danger. CARS ARE ¡NO PHONE ZONE!

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.
