Statistics
about
car
accidents
and
the
number
of
casualties
related
to
‘phone’
influenced
driving
have
portrayed
a
grim
picture;
we
cannot
call
and
drive
at
the
same
time.
Having
a
cell
phone
in
one’s
hand
for
calling
or
texting
seems
as
lethal,
if
not
more
lethal,
than
drinking
and
driving.
The
simple
fact
is
that
we
get
distracted
by
a
call
and
forget
to
pay
close
attention
to
driving.
The
cell
phone
manages
to
appeal
to
our
urges
to
answer
or
get
in
touch
with
the
person
calling.
The
more
we
get
used
to
using
our
phone
24/7,
the
more
we
find
it
difficult
to
leave
it
ringing.
Not
being
able
to
answer
our
phone
seems
to
stress
us
out.
In
Europe
and
many
Asian
countries,
using
cell
phones
while
driving
a
vehicle
is
strictly
prohibited.
There
are
countries
that
totally
prohibit
the
usage
of
a
cell
phone,
even
when
installed
in
the
car
or
by
usage
of
a
car
kit;
other
countries
are
more
lenient.
In
North
America
and
most
parts
of
Latin
America,
there
are
few
to
no
rules
of
legislation
on
the
use
of
cell
phone
while
driving.
They
might
just
warn
the
drivers
to
keep
focused
while
being
on
the
phone
in
the
car.
