Essay / Persuasive Essay on Texting and Driving - 768
Suddenly, the elderly driver veers off course and plows into the innocent teenage driver. How could this have happened? The elderly driver unfortunately fell asleep, endangering other drivers and seriously injuring a young man. Although it was clearly the older person's fault, the blame was ultimately placed on the teenage driver. As absurd as it sounds, the media twisted the story, placing blame on the teen who was “texting and driving.” Media that behave like yellow journalism have nothing to do here. No one really believes that such circumstances actually happen, but this story is very true in Laredo, Texas. No tolerance should be given to individuals who endanger others. Anxiety, anger, guilt and sadness are avoidable emotions. By implementing license renewal policies, these unsightly accidents and terrible emotions can be dramatically reduced.
