To review:
The evaluation of a ban in some states, on texting while driving applied to drivers only under a certain age.
Introduction:
Distractions while driving are the main cause of many road accidents. It may be of visual, cognitive, or manual origin. Distracted driving is reckless, unsafe, and the results can be disturbing. Distractions include talking on a call, texting, eating, and reading, using a navigation system or putting on makeup.

Explanation of Solution
Texting while driving is one such distraction, which is considered riskier because it consists of visual, cognitive, and manual involvement. It is the most common type of distraction. The National Highway Transport Safety Authority endorses not to use cell phones except in case of an emergency while driving.
The National Transport Safety Board handed out a strongly worded declaration to the states of the United States advising them to ban texting while driving. It is up to the states to enforce the law and penalize such offenders.
The 44 states prohibit texting while driving and have exceptional restraints on cell phone use by drivers with learner’s permit or under a certain age. Fourteen states restrict all the driver use of cell phone while driving. Texting while driving is not a primary offence in five states out of 44 states and in one state drivers under age of below 21 are prohibited from texting.
Therefore, it can be concluded that it is not fair, that in some states to ban texting while driving applies to drivers under a certain age group, that is, age below 21 years. Texting can distract anyone irrespective of their age, sex, and physical condition.
