Mobile phones & driving



There are a lot of statistics which show that the reasons of traffic accidents are caused by the people who are using the mobile phone while driving their vehicles.

Some people argue that having the mobile phone is very necessary in the car. In fact, it’s useful when they face an emergency situation. For example, if you travel to another country by car and suddenly the engine has problem or breakdown, in this case, you need to call someone for help. Also if your child has a problem in the school and his teacher needs to inform you so they can contact you through the mobile phone if you are outside your house.



On the other hand, many people believe that the mobile phone is disturbing the drivers. For instance, if you concentrate with a person on the mobile phone while you are driving, that might cause a very big accident and you can lose yourself and other people’s souls. In 2006, about 619 people died in traffic accidents in the UAE because of using mobile phones while driving in the wrong way. They argue that the driver should park his car in the side of the road so he can receive any call or call anyone to keep him and others safe.

Of course, the mobile phone is a very important tool in our daily life that we cannot dispense with. However we should use this tool in the proper way, so we will prevent ourselves and others from the traffic accidents and our families who are waiting for us to come back home.
