Commentary of Theres No Place Like Texas Blog

Natasha, the author of the blog There’s No Place Like Texas, posted a blog discussing recent laws passed by some states banning the use of cell phones while driving. She states that Texas has failed to pass the law on banning cell phone use while driving. Through her blog she reveals the dangers of driving while talking pr texting on a cell phone. She is able to convey the dangers of cell phone use while driving by providing her own personal experiences. Natasha is very convincing with her arguments that a law banning cell phone use while driving is needed.

The blog also discusses about a safer alternative way of using a cell phone while driving. Natasha proposes the use of a hands free unit to talk on a cell phone while driving. The use of a hands free device to talk on a cell phone would reduce car accidents caused by talking on a cell phone. A driver would be able to talk on a cell phone and be able to keep their hands on the wheel with the use of a hands free device. With the law of banning cell phone use while driving would also prevent drivers to text while driving. The law would demand drivers to keep their full attention to the road.

I completely agree with Natasha’s blog. Texas is a growing state with a ever increasing population, which leads to roads being more populated. It is important to keep all of our citizens safe. Banning the use of cell phone while driving will help increase safety on our roads and reduce the number of car accidents. I am able to relate to Natasha’s blog because of her personal experiences, which is the reason for my support of a needed law to ban cell phone use while driving. A law to increase safety never hurt anybody.
