If you were a congress man or women, compose a law that would be reasonable concerning texting and driving.
Contrast and compare drinking and driving with texting and driving.
Design a plan that would reduce the use of texting while driving
On the subject of texting while driving, if i was someone in a position of power, such as congress, a law that would be reasonable for drunk driving would be difficult. The simplest solution would be to ban it our right, but again that would not stop it. People would still do it, all it would take is raising and raising the fines and punishments, such as an instant lose of licences.
Both texting and driving go into the same driving issue, distraction. TExting is more of a conscious choice to be distracted, while drinking is a pre determined. You drink before hand, which leads to you driving drunk. But you text while driving as a choice to be knowingly distracted. Both are horrid, and should not be allowed in the modern world. But again theres no hard way to stop ether problem, at the time.
A plan that would be key in stoping something like this from happening would be two possibilities. One: create a large fine and a punishment, removal of their licence. This is simply the basic straight forward and very accessible option. While the other would be something along the technology venue. Funding for the self driving car, technology, to make it fully functioning and cheep to allow anyone to be able to have a car with it. This would be expensive yet the safest choice, taking the human element out of driving. A third possibility is something such as having a lock not allowing the car to start unless a phone is place in it. Theses would be the plannes i would use.
