When you're a teenager, the risks of getting into an accident rise. According to the study, more than 3,000 teens die in car accidents each year, with about another 450,000 teens being injured. That means that almost nine teens die each day in car accidents. Additionally, one text message is equal to having a 0.08 alcohol level. In most states, that is considered drunk driving. When you're a teen, it may seem like this weekend's party is the most important thing going on in your life right now, but anyone would agree that being alive is more important.
So, how do you protect yourself from the dangers of distracted driving? Put your phone away. Put it on silent or just turn it off completely while driving. If someone is trying to reach you, you can have a better conversation with them when you're not doing 60 mph down the freeway. If you don't trust yourself not to use your phone, put it on the back seat.
You may get away with talking on the phone now, but there may be a day when you don't. Not using your phone may be an inconvenience, but it's better to be safe while driving. 29. What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph?
