Another problem we face due to texting and driving are deaths. Statistics prove that eleven teenagers die every day as a result of texting and driving. I know it is a big scare to lose your child to something so little yet it can be preventable. Ways to prevent it is through cell phone companies, service providers, app developers, and local and state governments developing and implementing laws. All of these will be my controlling ideas throughout the argument. My goal is to prove to people that if we truly cared we would do more than catch phrases "it can wait" or even apps that we download... For example, AT&T and Verizon developed apps that stop notifications while driving. However, this is not enough to stop it. I understand everyone will find a way to get around it, but what if they cant? It is similar to the law for no drinking under the influence or no drugs, yet people still find a way to get the drugs and alcohol... Let us find a way to stop this addiction!
