3. Parts of an Introduction
The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. So, if these facts are true and this devastating, why do people continue to text while driving? All but two states in the US (Montana and Arizona) have texting while driving laws in place. Some, such as Washington, have recently established even stricter laws to help curb this ever-growing problem. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be enough to keep people safe. Due to the fact that a majority of drivers believe they can multitask and need to be constantly plugged in, drivers will continue to put themselves and others at risk with their narcissistic behavior.

Ego-driven drivers will continue to put others at risk since a majority of them believe their busy lives and need to be connected to the world 24/7 trump saving lives. Since most people thrive on the ability to multitask and are asked to do so at their jobs, they continue to follow that routine in the car. Also, friends and family can help lessen the need for their loved ones to text and drive by being more understanding about not receiving immediate feedback to texts. Finally, people need to realize that their opinion or post being postponed 15 minutes will not hurt anyone. Let’s challenge the nation to put their phones out of reach each and every time they get behind the wheel. We could be saving thousands of lives with just one simple action.

From research on dopamine’s effect on the brain to debunking myths about risky teen behavior, experts have mixed emotions on whether risk taking is good for teens.
While some believe dopamine levels control risk-taking tendencies and others say it’s all about a teen’s surroundings, the reasons for teens’ actions are under examination in our nation.
The reasons and benefits for teen risk-taking will continue to be examined scientifically and generationally for years to come.
