Do you agree with it or not and why? Also, do you think their should be an age limitation on the ban?
i actuallly agree with it somewhat because texting should be banned so accidents dnt happen on the road. i think that it should be banned in all 50 states just for safety reasons..wat can be soo important thats in a text you must risk your life and other peoples life on the road. i think that anybody who has a license young and old should get pulled over for texting if there caught..that law ahould pertain to young and old.
How does this connect to the article on cell phone use and the comparison to driving under the influence?
his is connected to the article on cellphone use and the comparison to driving under the influence by showing us that there are other distractions to driving. I think that they actions people do such as driving slow, not having as fast refelexes as you would if you were paying attention and not under the influence or texting are all similar. And if in the article they show that talking on the cell phone causes more accidents, than texting would be the number one trigger for accidents because you have people looking at their cellphones other than the road. and more likely to cause accidents.

British texting while driving
Did it change your mind about texting or did you actually change your habit of texting?
it did change my mind about texting. But im a driver and i hardly text just for the fact that, im afraid that when i take my eye of the road, i get into an accident. especiallly i take precaution when im driving because since its not my car that i have, i cannot be reckless. texting is dangerous when ur driving because you dont have you full attention on the road. my driving instructor says that you must pay attention not only for yourself but people on the road.
Do you think that this should be required viewing for all drivers, new and old?
yes i think so because, this can maybe be an influence for drivers that think they mastered texting while driving that its unsafe to do so. this video can maybe prevent deaths that happen a year.

Cell Phones and Drving Safety
1. do you expect this article to based primarily on fact of opinion? i think its going to be based on both fact and opinion.
2. have you ever used a cell phone while driving or observed another driver using a cell phone? do you feel that use of the phone was distracting of the phone or potentially unsafe? i have used my cell phone while driving..but i hardly do that..the only time i will pick up if its my mom..sometimes i dnt pick up because..im not trying to get a ticket.i think that the use of the phone is distracting and unsafe.
the main idea of this article is that research recommended that talking on the cell phone while driving causes accidents and distracts drivers from the road just as when there drunk maybe even more worse. the reactions are different because drunk drivers are most likely aggressive on the road, while individuals on the cell phones, to react to something would be at a slow moving pace. and they tend to move slower to brake or accelerate because they are not paying attention. the signal words that help me find my answer was, and,while, in addition and also. the response from the cell phone industry was that the cell phones dont cause accidents the people do. they intend on educating the drivers about safety on the road and why its important not to use cell phones while your driving so u can prevent yourself from getting hurt.

Smokers' Rights
I think that the main idea of this passage is that smokers shouldn't be discriminated against smoking in their homes or any where else
Do you think U.S. citizens are victims of discrimination? yes and no. yes because moving citizens that smoke into a complex only for smokers is like separating them from society. and who wants that. they have the same rights we do and their humans just like us..the only thing is that they smoke. im sure they have enough sense not to smoke in a kids face or smoke around people who dont like smoke at all...
and no because theirs other things to worry about than discrimination against smokers. like discrimination against people of color or ethnicity or race. smoking is a big deal when it concerns individuals health..but not as big as people getting killed because of their skin color or where their from...
