Cell phone drivers are very unpredictable: they drive too fast or too slow, make improper turns, run red lights, and even stop at green ones. Its not only annoying; its dangerous. Accidents related to cell phones include rear-ending(追尾) other vehicles, running off a road and crashing into trees, fences, and buildings, and even turning over.In October at the California Traffic Safety Summit(峰会), experts showed that “cell phones used by drivers lead to at least 1,000 deaths per year in California.” These are the same problems that occur with drunk driving, which is against the law and strictly enforced(强制执行). For the same reasons, California needs law that restrict the use of cell phones in cars.Until we take action to pass new laws, drivers at least need to be more responsible when using cell phones. The American Automobile Association recommends that drivers pull off the road before using a cell phone, have a passenger use it for them, or use voice mail to answer calls. Another suggestion is to keep the phone off while moving or simply not to use it in the car. Before using a cell phone, drivers should ask themselves, “Is this call really that important?”Cell phones can be a very important link in emergencies, but drivers need to use them wisely. As professional NASCAR racer John Andretti says, “Driving safely is your first responsibility.” The best road to safety is to just hang up and drive.（裁剪线）【答题区域】_（_ words）-第 1 页-
