1.) Driving and talking on the phone at the same time is deffinitly not a good idea. Unless you have blue-tooth or a hands free device your exempt. Driving and using the cell phone causes accidents, let alone the traffic. people dont know how to drive for the most part so you give them phones to talk its just ridiculous. The average person just doesnt pa attention while driving and conversating on the phone.

2.) I thnk that the author is basing the article on facts. Thats what all the information feels like as im reading it. Stating that the comination of cellphones and drving is worse than the combination of alcohol and driving.

3.) The main idea of this article is how people talk on the phone and the use of hands free device's such as blue tooth or any other device is used. Also how talking on the phone is a terrible habbit for drivers.

4.) The author stated that drunk drivers are driving aggressivly and fast and out of control. People using the cell phone while driving, are driving sluggish and slow not paying attention to the road. <>

5.) Certain signal words that helped with my conclusion were, :"in addition, he/she said, found"
the studys show that reaction time was delayed by 9% in terms of breaking & 19% in terms of how fast the driver accelerated after breaking. Thus causing a ridiculous amount of traffic on the roads so people can have their conversation in the car via the use of a cell phone.

6.) The response of the cell phone industries is that they provide the publice with blue tooth features, and other hand held devices. Also they feel that educating people about the use a phone is a terrible thing worse then drunk driving. Hopeing to get a point across.
