So.. This is the first blog post I've ever done in my life. I sorta feel like this is my online diary. I know people out there think it weird of have a personal blog.. well I feel perfectly fine about it unless you post some ridiculous things.:) . I am perfectly aware that no one will read this post, so I don't really care. Well, today I am absent because I'm sick and missing out on a math quiz and a history test.. uggh two tests to make up for and if i haven't mentioned yet my math teacher is absolutely the worst and the list for that is about 2 page and growing. I finished one of my entries for the Literery Fair it's an editorial and not my best writing at all :( I'll post it here for you to see(BTW I haven't come up with a title yet):
Is the cell phone really worth dying for? A rising issue facing teen drivers is the use of cell phone while driving which is a significant cause of automobile accidents and death. Drivers should be banned from using their cellular devices while controlling their vehicle.
Distractions while driving is a hazardous situation risking the lives of those behind the wheel and also the innocent ones in their proximity. Using a cell phone while driving make people four times more likely to injure themselves in a serious crash. Cell phone, alone causes 25% of the car accidents and these accidents play a role in the white "Drive Safely" signs surrounded by flowers in your nearby highway. "ONE NEW TEXT MESSAGE", teens scramble in their drivers seat and in the next minute, Crash!. Each year, distracted driving cause approximetly 330,000 injuries and 2,600 deaths. Twenty-One percent of automobile crashes involving teen are directly linked to cell-phone usage. These long rows of death could've been prevented if only cell-phone usage while driving would be banned. A recent study conducted by the University of Utah reveals that someone using a cell phone while driving exhibits the same damage as someone driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.8 percent. Florida law states that driving with a BAC greater than or equivalent to 0.8 percent is illegal.Surprisingly, no Florida law prohibits texting or talking on their phone while driving.
Many citizens say that cellphones are convenient for emergencies, but what they fail to realize is that several of these emergencies are caused by the cell phones themselves. As individuals, citizents should step up and stop texting to create a more safer environment on the wreckless roads.
Half of a all teen drivers and 1/5 of all experienced adult drivers admit to texting while driving and as the trend grows on the graves are being dug for those who have been fatally killed as an individual who texted while driving or was a victim of one.
