Yay for people who make laws! Lawmakers in Arkansas have finally made texting while driving illegal and there are several people who are very upset over this. I have one question for those people against this law; are you dumb?
Most of teenage deaths involved with cars are due to phones and texting. I'm sorry but if most of our younger generation are dying due to a stupid message that could wait five minuets, then shouldn't something be done about it? Any law that will save lives that is not too restrictive, should be glorified and not criticized.
Some people argue that texting should be allowed in case of emergencies. Well, ok, if its an emergency, pull over and call or text. It's simple. "But what if someone is in the middle of nowhere, with nowhere to pull over?" Good question! Get to somewhere and once again, pull over. If there truly is an emergency, then you have two options. Option one, it won't really matter and the cop will understand if its a real emergency. Option two, pull over because you need to focus on this emergency.
Option three, just don't do it! People don't realize that true, it is your life, but when you're on the road, you are endangering other people's lives. Do you really want to be a murder? So thank you to everyone who helped to pass this law throughout Arkansas and lets spread it to the rest of the country!
