Justify
Cell Phone Use While Driving:
In order to stop the use of cell phones while driving there must be a federal law so that it is applied across the entire United States because it is truly a distraction that is statically proven to cause accidents.
Although creating a federal law is a step in the right direction we also need to develop technology to temporally disable the cell phone use because law enforcement agents can’t be at all places at all times. Plus this avoids the temptation of using it.
