Thank you for having me, Foothill High School. I'd like to talk to you about using cell phones<br />while driving. This is an important issue for you students to learn about. Most drivers<br />today are young teenagers and adults who don't have much driving experience. Many car accidents<br />are caused by drivers using their cell phones. Police have been creating new laws to help.<br />If you are seen sending messages with your phone while driving, you can be pulled over<br />and fined. These punishments exist because this issue is more serious than people think.<br />In our home state of California, we are working on improving our driving laws. In 2015, there<br />were 350 car crashes that killed at least one person due to the misuse of cell phones.<br />States such as New York and Massachusetts have not done enough to solve the problem.<br />Last year, the well-known story of Joey Banks got the whole country's attention. The teenager<br />hit a parked car while at a stoplight, injuring the family of four that was in the car and<br />putting himself in serious condition. Everyone is getting better though. Let's all learn<br />from Joey Banks' story. Thank you for having me, Foothill High School. I'd like to talk<br />to you about using cell phones while driving.
