This is why cell phones dangerous for your life during driving:
When you are using cell phone, and you attention is diverted to one single focus, which makes your quick response slower to approx 30%.
Ticket is one thing which you can get from Cops, if you are careless with the rules and regulations of each state to phone calling. Some states allow you to talk to phone but only using hands-free devices.
Text messages are getting their way to be banned now because they are also causing a lot of accidents. Many states are on their way to pass the bills for making text messaging banned permanently just like talking on phone. It mean you will get a ticket if you text a message while driving. But this will be better for the public because then every one will concentrate less on cell phones and driving more.
Once a foolish man said that time is precious than anything and everybody laughed at him. Now, that man is considered to be the wisest of all. Now, everybody knows the importance of even a second. A light can travel .3 million Km in a second. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in 8 sec. A 5 sec Earthquake can destroy a whole city. In the same way, if you pull of your sight or concentration from driving, it can become fetal, especially on the High way where is non-stop traffic coming up. For example, if your wheel slipped just for a second could cause the whole smoothly running traffic to go boom.
If you are that much in need to talk to someone or wanna text someone, then pull of the car. It is not that difficult than destroying the peaceful smooth traffic. You intervention in the traffic is just like throwing a stone in a still water. It will only cause disturbance instead of help.
Think about it.
