Notes de l'éditeur
- Hello. My name is Scott and this is my presentation on why I believe cell phones should not be banned while driving.
- This slide shows the reasons why cell phones should be allowed in cars. Cell phones can help in an emergency situations when you need help.
- Cell phones can keep you in contact with other people that might need you. And if you cannot find the location that you need to go to, cell phones are useful to be able to call someone for help.
- These are the reasons why people are against having cell phones in cars. Many people believe that cell phones cause accidents and are a distraction in the car.
- This slide shows why I believe that those reasons are not legit. Careless driving is why accidents happen, not cell phone use.
- An alternative way is by using Bluetooth devices. This is a device that enables you to talk on the phone hands-free while driving.
- This is a chart showing the percent of drivers who have phones in their cars and the percent of drivers who actually use their phones. As you can see, many people use phones while driving.
- This slide shows tips that people might find effective while using their cell phones while driving. These tips can help people avoid accidents.
- To conclude, cell phones should be allowed while driving. To prevent many accidents, people need to be smarter on the road. Phones are not the cause of accidents.
- These are my references that I used for my presentation.
- This is the end of my presentation. Thank you for your time.
