Should using mobile phones while driving be banned?


As we know, using a mobile phone while driving is a distractive thing. It is very difficult to focus on two things at the same time. This will reduce the speed of response for the driver.

Even using a mobile phone while driving is a dangerous thing; you should have one in your car for the emergency cases. For example, it is dangerous to drive alone at night so you should have a mobile to summon help from police in an emergency. Also if you are driving a long way to remote areas where there are no lights in the roads or a desert for example you may need help if your car breaks down.
Even though I said the above things, there is no real reason for using a mobile phone while you are driving because of course you will find a safe place to stop and answer your phone. Some drivers think that using hands-free is less distraction. In fact, using hands-free does not reduce the level of distraction because driving requires a lot of concentration. Most countries have banned using a mobile phone while driving and they give those fines because it has become a major problem worldwide. In the UAE, it is not allowed to use a mobile phone while you are driving in all cases.

In conclusion, a lot of research shows that using a mobile phone while driving is a cause of accidents. However, it is very important to have a mobile phone in your car but it is not necessary to use it except in emergency cases.
