A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too muchand nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.And talking isnt even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22 of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phones screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever beforeUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others lives at risk. No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when youre in troubleBut there is no need to use them while driving.
