Week 5

The title of this article tells me that it will be talking about the harms of driving while on cellular devices. The evidence presented by the author was based on fact more than opinion because he had studies and reports to back up his information. The authors main idea is to show that most driving accidents are caused by distraction, and cell phones in the modern day has become a huge distraction to many drivers, putting many people at risk. According to the Utah study, drunk drivers tended to be more aggressive while cell phone drivers were sluggish. The signal words that helped me located these answers were "is, like, was, and found". The use of hands-free cell phones while driving is just as dangerous as the use of handheld cellphones because the problem was conversation, not the ability to use hands on the wheels. The cell phone industry doest hold a big position in these situations becuase it is the people who casue these accidents.
