How can bans on cell phone use in cars help Phone Companies?

by bdu

My friend and I are doing a argument for a speech class and we are doing a cross-examination argument. Being affirmative, we want to know if there are any benefits to cell phone companies financially by NOT by cell phones in cars. We know personally it can lower your phone bill, but how is this excellent for the phone companies or people in general? Does this avoid lawsuits, money from the government, etc;? It would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

If there is a ban on cell phone use while in the car, there is a lower chance that an accident victim can try to sue the phone carrier for something stupid like, allowing a driver to talk/text while pouring or the phone rang and caused a distraction and helped produce the accident.

The only benefit to cell phone companies is promotion accessories such as blue tooth and dash mounted hands free cell phone docking stations. A very worthwhile promote made by the new law that mandates one if you talk in your car. The cell phone companies are showing a high rise in profits from the sales of these accessories.

And most people are export them rather than give up talking in the car.

One of the main benefits to cell phone companies is money!! Some of their highest profit margins are on cell phone accessories. They are now going to be increasing sales of hands free, bluetooth, phone mounts, etc.

I don’t reckon people will talk less, they will just find other ways to do it.
