Recently, the National Safety Council (NSC) released data showing that 27 % of car crashes of 1,535,490 in 2013 were caused by cell phone use while driving (https://www.cnbc.com/2015/05/21/cell-phone-boom-leading-to-rise-in-distracted-driving-safety-group.html).  People don't realize that using mobile phones while driving will expose them to many risks and cause them severe pain or even death. The National Safety Council reports that Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving (https://www.edgarsnyder.com/car-accident/cause-of-accident/cell-phone/cell-phone-statistics.html). Even though there is plenty of evidence on the high risks or seriousness of using a mobile phone while driving, people are still using cell phones while driving because they want to be always available and stay connected with other people.
