Phone batteries can heat up to a point where the phone can explode.

The use of cellphones while driving, both hand-held and hands free, have similar effects on driving since the conversations are still taking away from one’s focus on the road.

Research has shown that about 23% of the yearly car crashes involve texting and driving which is about 1 million a year

Health Issues
