My topic is about cell phones.

my question is that im going to answer is: =Should cell phones be banded in cars? =

The three things I need to know to answer my question are:

Do teenagers get in more car accidents then adults while their on their phone? 5. How many teenagers have died from the accidents being on their cell phones?

=Cell Phones =

Teenagers in Accidents
1.How many teenagers have died from accidents being on their cell phones? Almost 36% of us teens have died from a car accident on their cell phones. - Really? This seems like a lot. Where did you get this statistic?

2.Teenagers get in more accidents then adults on their cell phones? Teenagers are more likley to get in a car crash on their cell phones because they go slower while talking on phones and dont pay any attention. But if you put a 20 year old in a car with a cell phone and a 70 year old without a cell phone they will drive the same way.

Ban Cell Phones
3.Do other places ban cell phones in cars? Brooklyn, Ohio was the first city to ban cell phones in cars. They are not thinking about banding cell phones because they think its unwise and there hasn't been a number of serious accidents.

- This isn't go along with the statistic you said in the first part of the page. The first statistic makes it sound like a lot of teens die from car accidents involving cell phones. This makes it sound like not many teens are hurt.

Car Accidents with Cell Phones
4.How many house hold people have cell phones? 91% of household people polled and belived that driving while on your cell phone will increse the risk of an accident.

Is It Safe Hands free
5.Can you have a bluetooth in your ear and talk that way? You are aloud to have a bluetooth in your ear and talk that way. Stores have sold about 600 to 700 per day.
