Cell Phones and Driving Safety

1.) I think while driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time can cause accidents and traffic because I have seen many people talking on there cell phone while driving they tend to be slowing down the traffic and this way people get angry so they make turns without seeing the mirror so this can cause accidents.

2.) In this article the evidence presented by the author was based on fact that driving while on the cell phone is worse than driving drunk.

3.) The main idea of this article is that driving while talking on the cell phone whether it would be hands-free or hands-held device.

4.) According to the Utah Study, the reactions of drunk drivers different from the reactions of drivers using cell phones is that drunk drivers tended to be aggressive and people talking on the cell phone are more sluggish.

5.) The signal words that helped with my answer were "while, said, In addition, and found". The researchers found talking on the cell phone reduced reaction time by 9% in terms of breaking and 19% in terms of picking up speed after breaking.

6.) The response of the cell phone industry is that believing educating drivers on how to best handle all of the possible distractions when you're behind the wheel is the most effective means to make better drivers.

  2. You are correct about facts are how the evidence is presented. You seem to be missing part of your response to the main idea. What about cell phones and driving? What is the author's point? Your signal words are half correct. Difference and because are the missing words.
