The problem of texting and driving is a growing epidemic in our society. People are killed or injured in car accidents every day because someone was texting while driving. This is a problem because it is preventable. We can take steps to prevent accidents caused by texting and driving.

The first step is to create awareness of the problem. Too many people are not aware of the dangers of texting and driving. They think they can do it without putting themselves or others at risk. However, the reality is that texting and driving are just as dangerous as drinking and  driving. 

The second step is to change the culture around texting and driving. Right now, it is seen as something that is not a big deal. Nevertheless, it is a big deal. It is a deadly habit that needs to be changed. We need to make it socially unacceptable to text and drive. Just like we made it socially unacceptable to drink and drive.

The third step is to enforce the law. Most states have laws against texting and driving, but they are not being enforced. Police officers need to start pulling people over for texting and driving. Furthermore, when they do, they need to give them a ticket. If we start enforcing the law, people will start changing their behavior.

The fourth step is to educate people about the dangers of texting and driving. Too many people are still not aware of the risks. We must educate them about the dangers of taking their eyes off-road while their hands-off wheel and minds off of driving. We need to make sure and ensure they understand that texting and driving are just as dangerous as drunk driving.

The fifth step is ensuring people have the tools they need to avoid texting and driving. Several apps and devices can disable a phone while a person is driving. We need to make sure that people are aware of these tools and that they are using them.

We need to take action to prevent accidents caused by texting and driving. We need to create awareness of the problem, change the culture around texting and driving, enforce the law, educate people about the dangers of texting and driving, and ensure that people have the tools they need to avoid texting and driving.

Attention Getter:

The Problem: Texting while driving is a growing epidemic, with over 4 million people getting into car accidents every year. That is an average of over 1,000 people every single day. The problem is that this number keeps growing, and no laws are currently in place to stop it.

Satisfaction Solution: My solution is to enforce a policy that bans texting while driving. This will decrease the number of car accidents caused due to distracted drivers not paying attention to the road. It will also keep drivers from being distracted by their phones while on the road, leading to more dangerous situations and more accidents overall. One of my main goals is to reduce the amount of traffic-related deaths each year, and this proposal would go a long way toward doing just that!

Visualization: If we pass this law and enforce it, I think we will see an immediate improvement in safety on our roads. We'll see fewer accidents and injuries overall as drivers become more aware of their surroundings instead of focusing solely on their phones or other distractions. Passengers who try to distract drivers by talking or texting could be fined heavily if caught doing so—this might even convince them not to do the same.

Explanation:

• Attention: Technology has changed our world in many ways, but one of the most impactful is how it has changed our ability to communicate with each other. Texts and emails have become a way for us to connect with those we care about, but this form of communication does not always serve its purpose. We must not lose sight of the fact that texting while driving is dangerous and can have deadly consequences.
• Introduction: Texting while driving has become a problem in society because it increases the likelihood of accidents by up to three times (American Psychological Association, 2019). This can cause people to get injured or even killed if they are involved in a crash while sending or receiving messages from their phones. These accidents can also cause property damage and result in fines for those who are found responsible for causing them (NHTSA, 2017).
• Satisfaction: The purpose of this speech is to convince you all that texting while driving should be banned because it puts everyone on the road at risk when people are distracted by their phones instead of paying attention to what is happening around them.
• I am sure you have seen it: the driver sending a text as they are driving. While some people may be able to get away with this, statistically, it is dangerous—and it is something that people like me see every day.
• I am here to tell you that I have a plan to make our roads safer. My plan will help get the word out about texting while driving engagingly and effectively. It will also help those who are already aware of the dangers of texting while driving but do not know how or where to report incidents of this behavior, as well as those who are considering calling authorities on someone else for texting while driving.
• My plan is simple: I will create flyers that can be distributed by law enforcement agencies, schools and community centers, and even grocery stores. These flyers will contain contact information for local law enforcement agencies, as well as statistics about the dangerous texting while driving can be (for example, one study found that those who text while driving are 23 times more likely than non-texting drivers to crash). They will also include tips for reporting incidents of texting while driving—and if you choose not to report an incident yourself, there will be instructions on finding someone who will report for you.
• As a society, we have become increasingly dependent on technology. The ease and convenience of texting have led many people to rely on it as a primary means of communication. However, as this reliance has grown, so have the risks associated with texting and driving.
• Texting while driving is already illegal in many countries, but we need to take this conversation beyond just the law enforcement level. We need to create a culture where texting while driving is seen as socially unacceptable—a practice that is widely shunned by society at large.
• For this change in culture to occur, we must first address the root cause: lack of awareness. Most people do not realize how dangerous it is to text while driving until they see someone they care about get hurt or killed because they were distracted behind the wheel. Once they understand this danger, people will be much more likely to stop texting while driving themselves.
• We can achieve this goal by creating public service announcements that show how dangerous texting and driving is—and how quickly it can lead to tragedy if you do not put down your phone immediately when you start driving somewhere new. These PSAs should also include stories from real people who have lost loved ones due to distracted driving accidents caused by reading messages on their phones while behind.
