Question

Every year many people died or were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones. However, people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.

A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones, their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally(正常地). It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.

And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.

Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive, if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish, careless and should have their driving licenses (駕照)cancelled.

There is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.
