There are lots of central concerns in my life, but the one that sticks out the most would have to be phone usage and driving. As us adults are use to driving and have been becoming more confident in our driving and very impatient when waiting on having to do things we have become more reckless with our driving by being on our phones which put our lives and others in danger. As ustoday stated, “The National Safety Council 's annual injury and fatality report, "Injury Facts," found that the use of cellphones causes 26% of the nation 's car accidents, a modest increase from the previous year.

It is becoming more and more common and I am afraid that the young adults that are getting ready to learn how to drive to get their permits or the teens that are getting their licenses are watching what other people do and if the adult that is teaching them to drive uses their cell phone while driving than young adults are going to assume it is a normal thing to do and that it is ok to do if their guardians are doing that same thing and not bringing more awareness to how dangerous it is to be using cell phones while driving are.two lanes and had dodged my car from hitting hers five times.

Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying. There was the desk that Abby sat in, empty. As I looked around to see if she moved seats, I heard my teacher clear her throat. She explained to our class that Abby got in a car wreck in which caused her to die on impact. The driver who t-boned her ran a red light because he was distracted by his phone. While telling
