Reflection Paragraph
The information that I found within my search shocked me because the laws and the consequences for breaking these laws endure tremendously. The most important facts I learned consist of the consequences of drinking while driving and that you are 8 times more likely to be involved in an accident if you are texting while driving. The most surprising information that I found abides to texting while driving takes your eyes off the road for about five seconds and if you are traveling 55 miles per hour that is just like traveling the length of a football field blindfolded. Another thing that surprised me was that a police officer can stop you and fine you if they think that you are texting, to prove that you are texting they can get your cell phone records. The question that I still have is,"Will they ever come up with a way to stop texting while driving or drinking while driving?" I feel that my topic is still something that can effect the lives of the drivers and the families that encounter these types of accidents, whether the person dies, or gets seriously injured it is still devastating to the families and friends of the victims.I also feel that I am still very passionate about this topic because I have had first hand experiences with these type of accidents and the pain and hurt they portray.
