Do you think the government is right to stop people using mobile phones while driving?

In recent times, automobile accidents have been occurring of which some of the causes can be attributed to the indiscriminate

use

of mobile phones while driving. Some people have argued that banning the

use

of mobile devices while in transit by the government is beneficial to the society.

However

, some people are against

this

measure.

This

essay will discuss both sides of the argument and state the reasons why I am in support of the government banning the

use

of mobile devices while driving.

Firstly

, a mobile

phone

is no doubt a beneficial invention,

this

is an undeniable fact.

In addition

, it connects us to people, places, and the world at large.

For instance

,

as a

result

of fast paced technology, one can effectively and conveniently convey information and

consequently

connect with people around the globe. Since it is called a "mobile"

phone

, some people expect it to be accessible at every point in time, regardless of the calamity that might cause.

However

, a lot of motorcycle accidents have been occurring lately

as a

result

of indecent

use

of these mobile phones.

As a

result

of making

use

of a

phone

by a person while driving,

this

may cause the driver to lose focus.

As a

result

of

this

, a fatal crash may occur.

For instance

a recent study that took place in Nigeria, a part of West Africa, found out that about 10% of road accidents occur due to the

use

of cell phones while driving. In summary,

this

essay has discussed the reasons I think it's a bad idea to make

use

of a cell

phone

while driving. I believe its ban by the government is a right move. Government should enact stricter penalties for offenders who fail to adhere to these rules in order to make the highways

safest

Suggestion

safer

for all road users.
