This week, we have to deliver persuasive speech. My speech is about texting and driving, and here are some outlines from it.

Have you ever received text message while driving? And have you ever thought that it is important to text that person back? Well, think again!

By some researches I've found, 8 out of 10 people driving are agreed with all types of restrictions while driving. Yes, you heard me, that is 80%. But did you also know that most of those drivers who agree with restrictions have violated them at some point of time. Today, I will be talking about statistics and researches about texting and driving. I will try to show how texting while driving influences you. But wait, there are more people driving is same time as you. So you are in chance not just to hurt yourself, but also people driving in car with you, or innocent walker or other drivers. And for what, why? By site Nationwide.com, if you are using phone and driving you are 4 times likely to have a crash or cause an accident and hurt you and other people. I also found a statistic that texting uses 37% of brain activity related to driving. I ask you, are you wiling to risk lives just to write text message? Think, that can happen to people you care about. Studies show this is almost as dangerous as drunk driving. And I know some of you think that it can't happen to you, and that you are not distracted. Well you are wrong. Utah university proved that using cell-phone while driving, whether it is hand held or hands free delays drivers reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at legal limit of 0,8%. That means you will late with your reaction, maybe too late. So if you think it can't happen to you, you should better think again. Using cell phone will delay your reaction, and even it is for just a second, that second can be difference between life and death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDb-15hAtxY, this is code for YouTube video. Paste it to YouTube search bar and you will see what I am talking about.

This is all I have got to say. Statistics and researches proved this, thousands of dead people in crashes every year proved this. Texting while driving is dangerous. Do not be that person.
