Mobile phones and driving

People have been arguing about using mobile phones while driving: whether it should be banned or not. In my opinion I think using mobile phones while driving is dangerous, but it is necessary sometimes.

First I will begin with the arguments which are against the statement. The main argument is that mobile phones have become an important part of your lives especially here in the UAE. Another argument is that the businessmen need their mobile phones all the time and if they can’t use their phones deals will drop. Yet another argument is that mobile phones could help the drivers when they have a problem in their cars especially for old people and women.

There are also a number of arguments that support the statement. The main argument is that using mobile phones while driving is very dangerous and it could lead to serious accidents and that is because using mobile phones distracts your attention from the road and reduces your reaction’s speed. Another argument is that sometimes when the phones ring while driving could scare you and this could cause an accident. Recent research has shown that the death rate of car accidents in the UAE is very high and using mobile phones while driving is one of the reasons. We should put a strict law for using mobile phones while driving especially when people don’t care.

In conclusion, I think the roads would be safer if mobile phones were banned. However, mobile phones should be used only if it’s an emergency.
