Answer 1

We can&#039;t know what the author&#039;s argument is because we don&#039;t know what book to which you refer.

In general, however, cell phone usage, while driving has been shown to be a distraction, contibuting to the driver&#039;s lack of attention to the act of driving.

It&#039;s not the hand on the dial, it&#039;s the brain on another subject.

Answer 2

Talking on a cell phone while driving does not cause accidents...It is a contributing factor.

The vehicle is under the control of the driver...While driving only takes maybe 5 to 10% physical ability (sitting in a comfortable seat, at least one hand on a wheel, one foot on a pedal), it demands 100% mental focus...The driver&#039;s judgement, attitude, awareness, reflexes and self control all must be tuned in to the situations that are occurring yet constantly changing while operating a motor vehicle.

If the driver is not in control of him or herself, there is no way the driver can control the vehicle.

Driving is not s**y or exciting - it is mostly boring.

There is no such thing as a &#039;safe&#039; vehicle...The only time a vehicle is &#039;safe&#039; is when the engine is turned off and the vehicle is unoccupied.

Failure to operate a vehicle safely, in accordance with local, state and federal regulations and pursuant to the manufacturers instructions can result in death, permanent disability and injury

Answer 3

Here is one based on my own observations.  When you are out, observe which hand is holding the cell phone.  Say a driver is holding the cell phone in left hand.  Ask this question, &quot;How can that driver use the turn signals if cell phone is in left hand?&quot;  You will quickly arrive at the same conclusion I have.  They can&#039;t!!  How many accidents are caused by a driver not signaling his or her intentions?  I suspect quite a few.  I drive left handed since I grew up driving vehicles with manual transmissions.  To this day, if I need to use my cell, I hold said device in my right hand.  My left hand is still available operate the turn signals.  Which I use religiously.  

Hope this helps and Good Luck

Answer 4

Well, no one on here is going to write your paper for you but here are just a few reasons..

Cell phones distract the drivers.  The driver gets too caught up in the conversation and can&#039;t keep their full attention on the road.  Talking on the phone can limit your hearing, which won&#039;t help if there&#039;s an ambulance coming and you can&#039;t hear it to pull over.  Holding the phone with one hand limits your ability to control the steering wheel, especially if you need to swerve or turn quickly.  

There&#039;s TONS of reasons why, but bottom line, its just not safe!

Answer 5

They&#039;re not paying attention.

They speed up, they slow down, they change lanes unexpectedly.

You see them weaving and driving very slowly.

It&#039;s very similar to the impact of someone under the influence.
