Cellphone use while operating a motor vehicle is already banned in most states. The ban was enacted to help reduce distracted driving because according to the federal government, in 2009, 5,474 people were killed and an additional 448,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes that were reported by police to have involved distracted driving. Further, cell phone users are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves so cellphone use should be banned while driving.

How far should a driver look ahead of a vehicle while driving?

A driver should generally look ahead about 10 to 15 seconds while driving, which translates to roughly one block in urban areas and a quarter of a mile on highways. This distance allows the driver to anticipate potential hazards, adjust their speed, and make safe decisions in advance. Keeping this forward focus helps maintain a safe following distance and promotes smoother driving.
