Writing Prompt:
If you were a congress man or women, compose a law that would be reasonable concerning texting and driving.
If I was a congress men I would make all phones in cars only work with voice input. The reason why I say that is because it would render texting useless but still would allow emergency calling. That would make the death rates lower but still needs improvement. Another law would only allow texting if the car is fully parked. The only problem with the law is that some drivers would park on a red light or stop sign bothering many other drivers. To stop that I would make a fee that would charge the driver 150 dollars. That is how I would reduce texting and driving.
Contrast and compare drinking and driving with texting and driving.
Many people think that drinking while driving is bad, but texting while driving isn’t very different. They both kill you while driving and both are not worth dying for. Texting distracts the driver from the wheel and drinking stops the thought process of drivers. In the end doing both is not recommended.
Design a plan that would reduce the use of texting while driving.
One plan would be to reduce the number of texts a driver can send while driving over the 5mph limit. That way people can still text normally outside the car but while driving they have to learn to limit the amount of texts. I know it wouldn’t stop texting but it would reduce the deaths caused by it if you thought about it.
