How many of you talk on the phone
while driving ? How many of you even
text while driving. To persuade my
audience to not get distracted while
driving so they will not get into a car
accident. Texting and driving is the
act of composing, sending, or reading
text messages on a mobile phone
while operating a motor vehicle.

Death may be a part of the normal,
natural expected cycle of life but
death by any sudden, unexpected ,
particularly car accident is not. These
deaths bring significant challenges at
personal, family and community
levels.

Although maintaining communication
while on the road is beneficial or
important, nobody should put their
life or others by texting while driving.
Today I will persuade you and show
you how dangerous using your
phone while driving is. I am going to
talk to you about texting while
driving, phone conversations, and
driver inattentiveness.

One main reason drivers are
distracted is because drivers are
not cognitive while driving.

Talking is the main cognitive
distraction while driving because it
deals with your mind focusing on
what you are saying rather than
paying attention to what you are
seeing on the road.

car.

danger. It is one thing to put your own life in danger, but it is unfair

CONCLUSION

(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Action)

Today We discussed how dangerous texting and driving really is and why
we should all be more careful while doing it. We went over solutions to
resolve this epidemic. Persuaded you to refrain from texting and driving.
We never know what can happen. I encourage all of you to pay attention to
the road no matter what. You can find more information about it at the
library or any article. Many teens and young adults feel like nothing bad will
ever happen to them and they can beat the odds but please don’t let that
be you and become a statistic.
