How many of you own a cell phone? And how many of you have used your cell phone while driving? The second we hear the ring of an incoming call or the beep of a text message, we instinctively reach for our phone to answer. But while driving, that may not be the wisest decision.

As you can see, driving while using a cell phone is unsafe and may result in serious and even deadly consequences. It is so dangerous that cell phone use in the car is compared to drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs. If you think about it, in both situations the driver's awareness is altered.

Today the majority of people use cell phones on a daily basis. Some of us just can't put them down, not even when it can cause other people to be unsafe. We use them from when we wake up to when we finally go to sleep. But is there a time that we shouldn't be on our cell phones?

Driving is already a multitasking operation. We have to balance our speed, gas level, directions, music, air conditioning, and other drivers.

The reasons for not using cell phones while driving are very compelling and should not be taken lightly. Many people lose their lives every year due to distracted driving. It is important to stay very focused and aware while driving. Do not risk your safety or someone else's due to cell phone usage while driving.
