Gauging Your Distraction
Recent studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel. Play this online game to measure how your reaction time is affected by external distractions.
Do you think there should be a law in Pennsylvania banning texting and/or talking on a cell phone while driving? Why or why not?
i belive that a law should exist to ban texting while driving...this could save many lives and prrevent many acidents that are caused by this growing trend that can turn deadly.
ReplyDeletethis game was very difficult, i dont think driving should be aloud while texting. make it illegal. beacuse if pa makes it illegal it will save lives, and i think a life is more important than a text messge. though, one thing i dont think should be illigal is making calls while driving. i thik this because you can still pay attention while on the phone. you can still keep your eyes on the road, unlike texting.
ReplyDeletei think if you want to text and drive at the same time go for it, cause u r only putting ur life on the line. some people can text and drive if u cant do it at the same time then it might be a good idea to pull over and check ur texts messages tht cause you are also putting other peoples life ont he line. if you hit some one or kill some one it will be your fault for not paying attentions to the road because you are moore focus on your cell phone.
ReplyDeleteI think there should be a law agaisnt it . it was vwery deficult to do so. It was kinda confusing at first. but then i had Kaliee text for me and i did better. There was sa gray lady that you were supoose to see but i didnt because i was texting and driving. i think this is a very dangerous thing to do.
ReplyDeletei dont find it necesary to make a law about this cause everyone will still do it and then there will be tons of fines and syuff like that. its not a big deal its there choice if they do it there endangering themselves and others so the could have to fcace the consequences or worse they could be dead.
ReplyDeletefirst off, i think that this game is not realistic at all because it doesnt actually simulate driving while texting because most people can text without looking especially if they use the word option on their phone. Also while driving you wont be switching lanes that many times especially if you dont take the highway.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that Pennsylvania should make texting while driving illegal because people know better not to text while in risky situations such as passing someone or changing lanes or making a turn. Even if the do make it a law people are still going to text or talk on their cellphones while driving.
i disagree because for one it would be alot easier to text on the phone while driving and you wouldnt be switching lanes that much while you are driving and this is on a computer so i disagree
ReplyDeletei think that it is harder cuz you arnt gunna hav eot change lanes this this one os also on the computer.
ReplyDeleteI believe that texting while driving should not be entirely outlawed, but should become illegal on certain roadways that are more hazardous than others. I believe that on roadways that are low on population and are very safe they should be able to text because the probabilities of a text related accident are very low. On largely populated roads that are more hazordous and that you must be cautious on, texting while driving should not be permitted because the chance of getting in a text related accident on that road is very probable.
ReplyDeleteIm not to sure if i think it should be banned or not. Yes, there have been many accidents due to this problem, but also people should be smart enough to know when or when not to text or talk on the phone. I guess if the accidents increase due to this issue then maybe it should be banned, but like i said people should know when the right time is to talk or text on the phone and need to pay attention.
