Regulations regarding the use of cell phones while driving should be standardized.
Mobile phones have a vital role in our daily lives, but we need to limit the use for the safety of life and property of drivers, passengers, and the other people who use road. It is essential to create a law that covers the standards to create habits for the population because the accident’s rate due to the using of cell phone while driving is increasing every year. Each state has different regulations to use the phone while driving, so when traveling across the state, there may be confusion in the law. Standardized regulations that discourage use of cell phones while driving are effective in reducing road carnages.
Cellphone uses is growing up every year, cellular service in the USA has grown significantly over the few years from 4.01 billion in 2013 to 4.77 billion in 2017 (Pew Research Center, 2018). The use of cellular phones in the automobile segment is one of the big trends related to technology adoption, which may divert attention from driving. Some states have taken legal action that prohibits the use of mobile phones while driving to limit and prevent accidents. However, with the limitations and lack of information currently available to enforce standards for not using cell phones while driving, passing the law is not enough, by itself, it will have a significant impact on the driver's use of the mobile phone. This may cause accidents to themselves and others. In fact, the use of phones on the car is important as well. The driver uses a mobile phone to report the accident and informs the police and firefighter of any issues that need fixing. However, cell phone usage while driving is an increased risk of car accident that could lead to serious injury or death. Numerous road accident causalities stem from the usage of cell phones while driving (Statista, 2017).
For example, according to The National Safety Council (2015) said 75 percent of Americans admit to using cell phones, and 30 percent is texting while driving and they also report that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. In 2015, more than 3,000 died in distraction-related crashes and about 400,000 people injured in collisions involving a distracted driver (NSC, 2015).
Therefore, comprehensive action must be taken on a national level to curb this reckless, potentially deadly behavior. Driving while using a cell phone incurs a higher risk of crashing, as same as to driving while drunk and should have the proper punishment.
The law is not yet comprehensive and not yet rigorous. Speaking on a cell phone or texting while driving has become commonplace for many drivers. However, many states are cracking down. In response to safety concerns, some states have laws but some not and there are many different regulati ...

The document discusses the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. It notes that cell phone use reduces drivers' attention and concentration levels, which increases the risk of accidents. Studies show drivers who use cell phones have slower reaction times and are four times more likely to crash than non-distracted drivers. The impairment level is equivalent to driving drunk. The document also compares cell phone use to other distractions like smoking, eating, and radio use, but finds cell phone use poses a greater risk to safety due to the cognitive demand of holding conversations.

The use of cell phones has become more popular since their invention. Everyday millions of people use mobile phones for communication and online research. The growth of mobile phone industry and technology has been instrumental in making these gadgets affordable to majority including children. Studies reveal potential harm in rising use cell phones by drivers. This research seeks to identify the relationship between cell phone use and car crashes in the USA.
H0=the incremental car crash risk is proportional to time spent on the phone.
H1= the incremental car crash risk is not proportional to time spent on the phone.
The population of interest for this research is adults who are eligible to drive under the laws of the United States of America. The population that is accessible for this research consists of all American Students in the state of Illinois who meet the following criteria: 1) access to a vehicle; 2) posses a driving license 3)above the age of 18.
According to Andrew Parkes, driver’s phone conversations impair the driver’s concentration more than passenger conversations. A simulation studies report from University of Utah concluded that drivers involved in passenger conversations performed far much better than lone drivers. The report attributed this to the replication of driving task and the traffic in their conversations.
However, the report by the University of Utah has been heavily criticized by other research institutions. Meta-analysis by the University of Illinois appreciated the danger of passenger conversations. According to AAA (formerly American Automobile Association), passenger conversation was responsible for 11% of accidents related to distraction.
The effects of texting while driving have been a matter of great interest lately. 50 percent of drivers between the age of 16 and 24 confessed to having texted while driving. Two thousand young drivers die annually from accidents related to texting. In May 2009, there was a much publicized car crash in Boston where a driver crashed texting his girlfriend. On September 12, 2008, A Union Pacificfreight train and a Metrolink commuter train had a collision in Los Angeles, California. The accident claimed the lives of 25 commuters. Investigations by National Transport Safety Board (NTBS) found out that the Metrolink train operator had been texting while operating the train. The investigation concluded that the engineer might have been distracted by numerous texts he sent while on duty.
The use of phones while driving motor cars is very common today. However, this activity is considered dangerous given evidence relating cell phone use to a number of road accidents. Several states in the US have passed regulations forbidding use of phones while driving. Other states on the other hand allow the use of hands free gadgets.

Driver distraction, including cell phone use, contributes to 20-30% of vehicle collisions. While hands-free phones allow drivers to keep hands on the wheel, studies show driver inattention is the larger issue and hands-free phones pose similar risks. Some states and countries restrict cell phone use while driving, but studies show education may be more effective than penalties alone at changing behavior and improving safety.
This document discusses factors that influence texting while driving behavior. It describes how texting while driving is a growing issue in the US that many teens and adults disregard despite risks. Statistics show high rates of texting while driving among teens and young adults. Texting while driving increases the risk of accidents by 23 times and is attributed to many injuries and deaths each year. The document then analyzes how intrapersonal factors like perceptions of risk, socioeconomic status, and age influence texting behavior. Interpersonal influences like learning from family members and friends are also examined. Finally, organizational efforts, policies, and community factors that can reduce texting while driving are outlined.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”
Cultural factors in India that go against KFC’s original recipe.

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docxfelicidaddinwoodie
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

Developing a successful governance strategy
A Best Practice guide for decision makers in IT
The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has
created the Best Practice Series to capture and define best practice across the key aspects of
successful business.

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.
Keywords: Business Processes, Cost management, ABC method, Healthcare Institutions

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

Business Planning and Program Planning A strategic plan.docxfelicidaddinwoodie
This document discusses business planning and program planning. It explains that a strategic plan specifies how a program will achieve its objectives, while a business plan defines the path of a business and includes its organizational structure and financial projections. The document also discusses how the financial projection element of a business plan can impact a program's strategic planning process by influencing the program's budget. Finally, it notes that a program plan should include a funding request, as outlined in a business plan, to help secure necessary resources and facilitate achieving the program's goals and objectives.

BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT
Whether you plan to apply for a business loan or not, you need to have a roadmap or plan to get you from where you are to the successful operation of your business. The pages that follow demonstrate the content of a simple business plan which has been found to be successful in obtaining startup funds from banks. You are encouraged to use all or whatever portions of this fit your business.
Please DO NOT write page after page of drivel or copy from someone else’s plan or one of those templates you can find on the Internet. In most cases this will not “sound" like you, nor will it be short and to the point. Those who read these things are busy people and will not be inclined to spend time reading irrelevant paperwork.
Throughout this sample, there are
italicized
comments which are meant to guide you in preparation. If you follow this format it is reasonable to expect a finished document with 15-20 pages plus the supporting documents in the last section.
If you have good quality pictures of your space, products or other items, you might include them as another way to convey just what you plan to do. A map of your location, diagram of floor space, or other illustration is also sometimes helpful. On the other hand, do not add materials simply to “bulk-up” the report.
While content is critical, it is also important to make this presentation look as good as possible. For this course, you will create the business plan in Word and submit the plan and all attachments through the Assignment drop box. That means all attachments have to be in digital form. For a bank loan or an investor, you would normally provide them with a print version. Print the pages in black ink on a high quality tinted letterhead paper. Color is not necessary but would add some interest in headlines, etc. Bind the document in a presentation folder or with a spiral binding. Don’t simply punch a staple in the upper left corner.
If your were going to pursue a bank loan or an investor, it would be normal to take this business plan to your SCORE counselor for a review and critique.
NOTE: Before you begin your inspection of the simple plan outline which follows, take a moment to review the Business Plan Checklist on the next page.
BUSINESS PLAN CHECKLIST
By way of review, here is a concise list of the basic requirements for a Business Plan, as recommended by the MIT Enterprise Forum:
·
Appropriate Arrangement
- prepare an executive summary, a table of contents and chapters in the right order.
·
Right Length
- make it not too long and not too short, not too fancy and not too plain.
·
Expectations
- give a sense of what founder(s) and the company expect to accomplish three to seven years in the future.
·
Benefits
- explain in quantitative and qualitative terms the benefit to the consumer of the products and services.
·
Marketability
- present hard evidence of the mar.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.

Introduction:

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”
Cultural factors in India that go against KFC’s original recipe.

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docxfelicidaddinwoodie
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

Developing a successful governance strategy
A Best Practice guide for decision makers in IT
The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has
created the Best Practice Series to capture and define best practice across the key aspects of
successful business.

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT
Whether you plan to apply for a business loan or not, you need to have a roadmap or plan to get you from where you are to the successful operation of your business. The pages that follow demonstrate the content of a simple business plan which has been found to be successful in obtaining startup funds from banks. You are encouraged to use all or whatever portions of this fit your business.
Please DO NOT write page after page of drivel or copy from someone else’s plan or one of those templates you can find on the Internet. In most cases this will not “sound" like you, nor will it be short and to the point. Those who read these things are busy people and will not be inclined to spend time reading irrelevant paperwork.
Throughout this sample, there are
italicized
comments which are meant to guide you in preparation. If you follow this format it is reasonable to expect a finished document with 15-20 pages plus the supporting documents in the last section.
If you have good quality pictures of your space, products or other items, you might include them as another way to convey just what you plan to do. A map of your location, diagram of floor space, or other illustration is also sometimes helpful. On the other hand, do not add materials simply to “bulk-up” the report.
While content is critical, it is also important to make this presentation look as good as possible. For this course, you will create the business plan in Word and submit the plan and all attachments through the Assignment drop box. That means all attachments have to be in digital form. For a bank loan or an investor, you would normally provide them with a print version. Print the pages in black ink on a high quality tinted letterhead paper. Color is not necessary but would add some interest in headlines, etc. Bind the document in a presentation folder or with a spiral binding. Don’t simply punch a staple in the upper left corner.
If your were going to pursue a bank loan or an investor, it would be normal to take this business plan to your SCORE counselor for a review and critique.
NOTE: Before you begin your inspection of the simple plan outline which follows, take a moment to review the Business Plan Checklist on the next page.
BUSINESS PLAN CHECKLIST
By way of review, here is a concise list of the basic requirements for a Business Plan, as recommended by the MIT Enterprise Forum:
·
Appropriate Arrangement
- prepare an executive summary, a table of contents and chapters in the right order.
·
Right Length

Expectations
- give a sense of what founder(s) and the company expect to accomplish three to seven years in the future.
·
Benefits
- explain in quantitative and qualitative terms the benefit to the consumer of the products and services.

Regulations regarding the use of cell phones while driving
should be standardized.
Mobile phones have a vital role in our daily lives, but we need
to limit the use for the safety of life and property of drivers,
passengers, and the other people who use road. It is essential to
create a law that covers the standards to create habits for the
population because the accident’s rate due to the using of cell
phone while driving is increasing every year. Each state has
different regulations to use the phone while driving, so when
traveling across the state, there may be confusion in the law.
Standardized regulations that discourage use of cell phones
while driving are effective in reducing road carnages.
Cellphone uses is growing up every year, cellular service in the
USA has grown significantly over the few years from 4.01
billion in 2013 to 4.77 billion in 2017 (Pew Research Center,
2018). The use of cellular phones in the automobile segment is
one of the big trends related to technology adoption, which may
divert attention from driving. Some states have taken legal
action that prohibits the use of mobile phones while driving to
limit and prevent accidents. However, with the limitations and
lack of information currently available to enforce standards for
not using cell phones while driving, passing the law is not
enough, by itself, it will have a significant impact on the
driver's use of the mobile phone. This may cause accidents to
themselves and others. In fact, the use of phones on the car is
important as well. The driver uses a mobile phone to report the
accident and informs the police and firefighter of any issues
that need fixing. However, cell phone usage while driving is an
2. increased risk of car accident that could lead to serious injury
or death. Numerous road accident causalities stem from the
usage of cell phones while driving (Statista, 2017).
For example, according to The National Safety Council (2015)
said 75 percent of Americans admit to using cell phones, and 30
percent is texting while driving and they also report that cell
phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year.
In 2015, more than 3,000 died in distraction-related crashes and
about 400,000 people injured in collisions involving a distracted
driver (NSC, 2015).
Therefore, comprehensive action must be taken on a national
level to curb this reckless, potentially deadly behavior. Driving
while using a cell phone incurs a higher risk of crashing, as
same as to driving while drunk and should have the proper
punishment.
The law is not yet comprehensive and not yet rigorous.
Speaking on a cell phone or texting while driving has become
commonplace for many drivers. However, many states are
cracking down. In response to safety concerns, some states have
laws but some not and there are many different regulations. For
example, there are 15 states that have Hand-held Cell Phone
Use law: D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands
prohibit all drivers from using hand-held cell phones while
driving (GHSA, n.d.). So, all are primary enforcement laws, an
officer may cite a driver for using a hand-held cell phone
without any other traffic offense taking place. Some states have
Text Messaging ban such as 47 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam
and the U.S. Virgin Islands ban text messaging for all drivers
(GHSA, n.d.).
From the above it can be seen that each state has different
regulations, the regulations are complex and the rules are not
strong enough to make people obey the law. Many people still
do not understand the rules, so they are ignoring and still use
the phone while driving. Each state should make laws as
standard. It should be enforceable throughout the country and
has definitive sanctions, it will make people obey the rules.
3. Many people are addicted to the cellphones whether it's texting
message or using social media. The United States is considered
to have high access rates to social networks in the world while
the average global rate is 37 percent in 2017, the online use of
social networking in North America is about 66 percent but in
the United States is 81 percent of the population has social
media profiles (Kemp, 2017). This means that there are about
207 million social network users in the country in the year. The
figures show that the US has the third-largest user base in the
world, behind China and India but in the future, the number of
social network users in the USA is expected to increase by 217
million (Statista, 2017).
Someone is using the phone, not in the right place and not in the
right time like while driving. Using the phone while driving is a
distraction, it can result in consequences such as the cause of
the accident itself and may be linked to others as well.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety annual injury and
fatality report, report injury facts found that the use of cell
phones causes 26% of the nation's car accidents, only 5% of
cellphone-related crashes occur (NHTSA, 2017). The reason is
that the driver is texting and talking on handheld or hands-free
cellphones.
The use of different types of accessories that allow the rider to
use the phone without the need to touch the phone, such as the
use of Bluetooth to connect the phone to the car stereo. It can
reduce the risk of accidents due to physical factors and visual
factors. However, using an optional accessory will keep the
driver distracted and slow down the response to traffic signs,
and have a higher risk of accidents than those who concentrate
on driving. There is a risk of serious accidents as accessory
users have a higher chance of the accident than normal driving
four times, and those who do not use the device have a higher
chance of the accident than normal driving five times (CFSGB,
2017). It can see that the use of accessories that help the driver
does not have to use the phone while driving can reduce the risk
of physical factors, but the risk of accidents from distraction is
4. still high.
Most people want to use the phone, whether it's texting or social
media. If it is used both place and time properly, it will not
cause any problems. In response to security concerns, some
states and other countries have banned the use of certain types
of mobile phones while driving, but many states have not had
any restrictions. However, using the phone while driving is not
good even using the Bluetooth, using the phone while driving
increases the risk of accident than normal 2-4 times because the
driver distracted, and slow response brake pedal decision. The
controlling of the steering wheel when an emergency is slower
than normal 0.5 seconds and affects the visibility of the sign,
the traffic signs, even see the label but cannot remember the
details (Summala, n.d.). There are also many drivers who ignore
the rules, and it is still potentially dangerous for drivers who
are distracted and other people. Therefore, government officials
must act in a clear direction and do not allow the use of mobile
phones and text messaging while on the way. This regulation
will not only be a way to build a nation of safe roads, and it will
be an essential means to save thousands of lives. Enforcing
mobile phone use while driving across the country will reduce
the number of families suffering from negligence.
Governments should make every state a law to use the phone
while driving to standards, by requiring every state prohibit all
drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving and
texting prohibited as a standard. Because of people addict to use
the social media, the government should issue support for
applications on cell phone that can reduce phone usage while
driving, such as SafeDrive. This application can help people
reduce their interest in catching the phone, which is enabled by
the app during the drive (Jolly, 2016). The message can be sent
back to the person who would like to contact you and it can also
send an auto message back that you are driving.
There are numerous evidences that suggest that all-driver bans
on hand-held phone devices and conversations can have large
and long-lasting effects on drivers’ behaviors. In states where
5. these rules have been implemented, there has been a remarkable
reduction of drivers who talk on hand-held phones. In areas
such as Connecticut, District of Columbia, and New York, the
utilization of cellphones has reduced significantly from 24 to 76
percent within the last seven years since implementation
(McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). In all these jurisdictions, the
probability that the violators would receive citations is low, and
there are no cases of sustained enforcement campaigns
(McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). This is especially true when
high-visibility enforcements are introduced, since they increase
the rates of compliance with traffic regulations and policies.
After programs of publicized high-intensity enforcement of all-
driver cellphones and texting bans are implemented, the rates of
observed hand-held phone conversations have reduced in some
jurisdictions by as high as 57 percent in Hartford and
Connecticut. Therefore, standardizing these laws by making the
application of these recommendations across the whole country
can help to reduce possible driving accidents by increasing
compliance. The states that have implemented these legislations
have also recorded that law enforcers are challenged by the
prohibitions that apply only to teenage drivers. Usually,
secondary enforcement rules that require police to have some
other reasons to stop a vehicle before citing the driver for
violating the cellphone law, coupled with the challenge of
discerning whether a motorist is involved in an illegal act such
as texting.
In jurisdictions where ban on use of cellphones while driving
has been implemented, numerous studies indicate a dramatic
reduction in road carnages and accidents. In states such as
California, Louisiana, and Minnesota, the collision claim rates
significantly reduced following implementation of these
policies (McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). As the number of
drivers utilizing cell phones while driving increases, the interest
in associating cell phone use while driving and road safety,
continues to increase (McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). As more
technologies, such as cameras, music, text messaging and
6. internet browsing become an important part of mobile devices,
they pose an even greater cause of driver distraction (Nikolaev,
Robbins & Jacobson, 2010). Towards the beginning of 2009,
more than 200 bills that sought to prohibit or restrict the
utilization of cellphones while driving are still pending in
almost 42 state assemblies, in spite of disagreements on the
dangers pose and the efficacy of enforcements (Nikolaev,
Robbins & Jacobson, 2010). There is need to develop a
standardized law that discourages the use of cell phones while
driving. Banning the use of cell phones while driving,
minimizes fatal automobile accident rates. In New York, the
number of fatal accidents reduced by 46 percent.
In 2001, New York became the first state to regulate cell phone
utilization while driving. While New York prohibits handheld
cell phone devices, it still allows drivers to engage in cell phone
conversations so long as they utilize hands-free devices (Noder,
2009). New York’s law also includes a provision that allows
drivers to utilize their cell phones to call relevant authorities
during emergencies (Noder, 2009). States that enact the same
legislations have the authority used by New York’s law as a
model for their legislation and essentially to incorporate the
same exceptions during emergencies. The proposed solution
helps to ensure that states that faced problems related to slow
implementation of policies can still enact the legislations
through a standardized approach that includes all the states
nationally (Noder, 2009). This is because although some states
successfully passed laws that address cell phone utilization
while driving, other states still find it difficult to pass these
laws that restrict cell phone use.
One of the provisions of this policy is the use of applications
that discourage picking of phone calls while driving. This
software allows drivers to keep their hands on their wheels and
their eyes on the road by converting their messages into audio.
The app reads the messages and then informs them to the driver
(Jolly, 2016). This enables him to hear all the messages. While
traditional blocking is often effective, it is often better to
7. understand what other people want to say to the driver.
Sometimes, it could be an important message (Jolly, 2016). This
system also automatically identifies the name of the individual
seeking to contact the driver a message. In the process, the
system lets the message senders a notification that the receiver
is driving and cannot attend to the message right away (Jolly,
2016). Currently, this app is also undergoing modifications to
have the capability of notifying the parents who seek to know
how their children are driving. However, it can also be utilized
by anybody for blocking incoming calls, emails, and texts while
driving. The most attractive and efficacious feature of the app is
that one can never forget to turn it on, since it will utilize the
GPS feature of the cell phone to determine if one is driving.
Road crashes are some of the leading causes of deaths for both
adults and teenagers in the United States. Deaths and injuries
arising from road carnages are partly brought by widespread use
of cell phones while driving. In this respect, people who make
phone calls or send text messages while driving. Standardizing
legislations and policies aimed at discouraging the use of cell
phones while driving has various benefits. First, these rules
have been effective in reducing road carnages in areas where
they have been enforced. Therefore, it would be beneficial to
apply them across the country. In addition, these legislations
help to reduce the cellphone-using behavior, thus minimizing
road accidents.
Cell phones play a major role in our daily activities. One of the
most important roles that cell phones play is enabling
communication between people. In the current world,
information is very important and therefore people have a desire
to be kept on the loop on what is happening. Owing to this fact,
the use of cell phones has significantly increased over the years.
Despite all the advantages associated with the use of cell
phones, there also lies a great problem. Some people use their
cell phones to call, text and surf the internet while driving. This
poses a great risk not only to the person using the mobile phone
but also other motorists and pedestrians on the road due to the
8. high possibility of causing an accident. Although use of cell
phones while driving is prohibited by regulations in some
states, there needs to be standardized regulations across all
states. This will ensure uniformity in implementation and
enforcement of the regulations.
The first possible disadvantage of having the regulation is
because phones are necessary in emergency situations. This is
as important factor that could lead to overestimation of net
fatalities is the impact a ban would have on reporting potential
problems to authorities. Although most of the proposed
regulations would exempt cellular phone use in an emergency, a
ban on nonemergency use would tend to decrease the instances
of people’s carrying phones in their cars. The safety-enhancing
effect of ubiquitous cellular phones is a byproduct of having the
phones available for other uses. Thus, some of the positive
social impacts of cellular phones, like the quicker reporting of
accidents, for example, would be reduced.
The second disadvantage is police not be able catch the people
who talk or text on the phone. A final key issue that needs to be
addressed is how a policy is actually enforced. Our calculations
have assumed that policies are perfectly enforced. We know that
in many countries these policies are either not enforced or that
enforcement is far from perfect. Moreover, some of the policies
may be quite costly and difficult to enforce. For example, trying
to enforce a total ban in the United States. Drivers who use
cellular phones could respond by putting tinted glass in their
vehicles, which would make phone use harder to detect.
One of the main problems that are experienced with these
regulations is the level of inconsistency. Some regulations may
only cover ban on text messaging only while others may cover
calling and other uses. These vary from one state to another,
some of the states do not have these types of regulations. Here
are visuals to see the differences between the states. Firstly,
state regulations for texting while driving. The red color means
ban texting by all drivers, yellow means no ban, green means
ban texting by bus driver, novice drivers, and all drivers in
9. school zone.
Secondly, the visual of ban on Handheld Devices and Texting,
Red color means ban both of handheld device and texting,
Yellow means ban only texting and green color means no ban
(BTS, 2012).
Therefore, this calls for creation of standardized regulation that
would apply to all states. By having the standardized regulation,
the inconsistencies will be addressed since the regulations
would cover every aspect that is involved. The regulations will
be drawn from a wide variety of case scenarios bench marked
from the best international practices. This will ensure that there
are no loop holes in the regulations. (Wellings, 2013)
Also, standardized regulations will be effective given that
publicizing the regulations would be much easier compared to
publicizing individual regulations by states. This means that the
level of awareness by the public will likely be high and thus
making the enforcement to be easier. Some people are not
aware of the regulations by the different states which make
them violate them without knowledge of their existence. By
making standard regulations, it will be easier for people to be
aware of the regulations. This will help reduce road accidents
that are associated with cell phone use while driving.
Again, by having standardized regulations on cell phone use
while driving, it will create a sense of seriousness about the
issue. When an issue reaches a point of discussion in efforts to
be standardized across all states, it tends to attract more
attention and therefore it is taken seriously. This will make the
enforcement agencies to act accordingly to the standardized
regulations regardless of the state. It will ensure that people act
10. accordingly no matter which state they are in. (Brown, 2012)
In conclusion, cell phones use while driving should be regulated
in order to reduce the number of accidents that occur. Making
regulations at state level would help in reduction of but would
not be effective. This is due to the scope on which regulations
covers. Also, some states do not have these regulations which
even complicate the issue. It is evident from the above
information that having a standardized regulation on cell phone
use while driving would be very effective in dealing with vices.
Therefore, regulations on cell phone use while driving should
be standardized.

Cellphone uses is growing up every year, cellular service in the

Problems
The law is not yet comprehensive and not yet rigorous.
Speaking on a cell phone or texting while driving has become
commonplace for many drivers. However, many states are
cracking down. In response to safety concerns, some states have
laws but some not and there are many different regulations. For
example, there are 15 states that have Hand-held Cell Phone
Use law: D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands

do not understand the rules, so they are ignoring and still use
the phone while driving. Each state should make laws as

Many people are addicted to the cellphones whether it's texting

the average global rate is 37 percent in 2017, the online use of
19. social networking in North America is about 66 percent but in

Someone is using the phone, not in the right place and not in the

distraction, it can result in consequences such as the cause of
the accident itself and may be linked to others as well.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety annual injury and

cellphones.
The use of different types of accessories that allow the rider to
use the phone without the need to touch the phone, such as the
use of Bluetooth to connect the phone to the car stereo. It can
reduce the risk of accidents due to physical factors and visual
factors. However, using an optional accessory will keep the
driver distracted and slow down the response to traffic signs,
and have a higher risk of accidents than those who concentrate
on driving. There is a risk of serious accidents as accessory
users have a higher chance of the accident than normal driving
four times, and those who do not use the device have a higher
chance of the accident than normal driving five times (CFSGB,
2017). It can see that the use of accessories that help the driver
does not have to use the phone while driving can reduce the risk
of physical factors, but the risk of accidents from distraction is
still high.
Summary
Most people want to use the phone, whether it's texting or social
media. If it is used both place and time properly, it will not
20. cause any problems. In response to security concerns, some
states and other countries have banned the use of certain types
of mobile phones while driving, but many states have not had
any restrictions. However, using the phone while driving is not
good even using the Bluetooth, using the phone while driving
increases the risk of accident than normal 2-4 times because the
driver distracted, and slow response brake pedal decision. The
controlling of the steering wheel when an emergency is slower
than normal 0.5 seconds and affects the visibility of the sign,
the traffic signs, even see the label but cannot remember the
details (Summala, n.d.). There are also many drivers who ignore
the rules, and it is still potentially dangerous for drivers who
are distracted and other people. Therefore, government officials
must act in a clear direction and do not allow the use of mobile
phones and text messaging while on the way. This regulation
will not only be a way to build a nation of safe roads, and it will
be an essential means to save thousands of lives. Enforcing
mobile phone use while driving across the country will reduce
the number of families suffering from negligence.
Detailed and viable solution
Governments should make every state a law to use the phone
while driving to standards, by requiring every state prohibit all
drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving and
texting prohibited as a standard. Because of people addict to use
the social media, the government should issue support for
applications on cell phone that can reduce phone usage while
driving, such as SafeDrive. This application can help people
reduce their interest in catching the phone, which is enabled by
the app during the drive (Jolly, 2016). The message can be sent
back to the person who would like to contact you and it can also
send an auto message back that you are driving.
Advantages of the Proposed
21. Solution
Drivers’ Behaviors
There are numerous evidences that suggest that all-driver bans
on hand-held phone devices and conversations can have large
and long-lasting effects on drivers’ behaviors. In states where
these rules have been implemented, there has been a remarkable
reduction of drivers who talk on hand-held phones. In areas
such as Connecticut, District of Columbia, and New York, the
utilization of cellphones has reduced significantly from 24 to 76
percent within the last seven years since implementation
(McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). In all these jurisdictions, the
probability that the violators would receive citations is low, and
there are no cases of sustained enforcement campaigns
(McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). This is especially true when
high-visibility enforcements are introduced, since they increase
the rates of compliance with traffic regulations and policies.
After programs of publicized high-intensity enforcement of all-
driver cellphones and texting bans are implemented, the rates of
observed hand-held phone conversations have reduced in some
jurisdictions by as high as 57 percent in Hartford and
Connecticut. Therefore, standardizing these laws by making the
22. application of these recommendations across the whole country
can help to reduce possible driving accidents by increasing
compliance. The states that have implemented these legislations
have also recorded that law enforcers are challenged by the
prohibitions that apply only to teenage drivers. Usually,
secondary enforcement rules that require police to have some
other reasons to stop a vehicle before citing the driver for
violating the cellphone law, coupled with the challenge of
discerning whether a motorist is involved in an illegal act such
as texting.
Reduced Crash Outcomes
In jurisdictions where ban on use of cellphones while driving
have been implemented, numerous studies indicate a dramatic
reduction in road carnages and accidents. In states such as
California, Louisiana, and Minnesota, the collision claim rates
significantly reduced following implementation of these
policies (McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). As the number of
drivers utilizing cell phones while driving increases, the interest
in associating cell phone use while driving and road safety,
continues to increase (McCartt, Kidd & Teoh, 2014). As more
technologies, such as cameras, music, text messaging and
internet browsing become an important part of mobile devices,
they pose an even greater cause of driver distraction (Nikolaev,
Robbins & Jacobson, 2010). Towards the beginning of 2009,
more than 200 bills that sought to prohibit or restrict the
23. utilization of cellphones while driving are still pending in
almost 42 state assemblies, in spite of disagreements on the
dangers pose and the efficacy of enforcements (Nikolaev,
Robbins & Jacobson, 2010). There is need to develop a
standardized law that discourages the use of cell phones while
driving. Banning the use of cell phones while driving,
minimizes fatal automobile accident rates. In New York, the
number of fatal accidents reduced by 46 percent.
In 2001, New York became the first state to regulate cell phone
utilization while driving. While New York prohibits handheld
cell phone devices, it still allows drivers to engage in cell phone
conversations so long as they utilize hands-free devices (Noder,
2009). New York’s law also includes a provision that allows
drivers to utilize their cell phones to call relevant authorities
during emergencies (Noder, 2009). States that enact the same
legislations have the authority used by New York’s law as a
model for their legislation and essentially to incorporate the
same exceptions during emergencies. The proposed solution
helps to ensure that states that faced problems related to slow
implementation of policies can still enact the legislations
through a standardized approach that includes all the states
nationally (Noder, 2009). This is because although some states
successfully passed laws that address cell phone utilization
while driving, other states still find it difficult to pass these
laws that restrict cell phone use.
24. Benefits of Applications that Reduce Phone Use
One of the provisions of this policy is the use of applications
that discourage picking of phone calls while driving. This
software allows drivers to keep their hands on their wheels and
their eyes on the road by converting their messages into audio.
The app reads the messages and then informs them to the driver
(Jolly, 2016). This enables him to hear all the messages. While
traditional blocking is often effective, it is often better to
understand what other people want to say to the driver.
Sometimes, it could be an important message (Jolly, 2016). This
system also automatically identifies the name of the individual
seeking to contact the driver a message. In the process, the
system lets the message senders a notification that the receiver
is driving and cannot attend to the message right away (Jolly,
2016). Currently, this app is also undergoing modifications to
have the capability of notifying the parents who seek to know
how their children are driving. However, it can also be utilized
by anybody for blocking incoming calls, emails, and texts while
driving. The most attractive and efficacious feature of the app is
that one can never forget to turn it on, since it will utilize the
GPS feature of the cell phone to determine if one is driving.
Summary
Road crashes are some of the leading causes of deaths for both
adults and teenagers in the United States. Deaths and injuries
arising from road carnages are partly brought by widespread use
25. of cell phones while driving. In this respect, people who make
phone calls or send text messages while driving. Standardizing
legislations and policies aimed at discouraging the use of cell
phones while driving has various benefits. First, these rules
have been effective in reducing road carnages in areas where
they have been enforced. Therefore, it would be beneficial to
apply them across the country. In addition, these legislations
help to reduce the cellphone-using behavior, thus minimizing
road accidents.

Should regulations regarding the use of cell phones while
driving be standardized?
Introduction
Nowadays, mobile phones have a vital role in our daily lives,
but we need to limit the use for the safety of life and property
of drivers, passengers, and the other people who use road. It is
essential to create a law that covers the standards to create
habits for the population because the accident’s rate due to the
using of cell phone while driving is increasing every year. Each
31. state has different regulations to use the phone while driving, so
when traveling across the state, there may be confusion in the
law. The cell phone use while driving can be as dangerous as
drinking under the influence, for this reason, all states should
have standardized regulations where the use of cell phones and
driving are concerned.
History, status of issue, and overview
The using of a cell phone is growing up every year, cellular
service in the USA has grown significantly over the few years
from 4.01 billion in 2013 to 4.77 billion in 2017 (Statista,
2018). And the use of cellular phones in the automobile segment
is one of the big trends related to technology adoption, which
may divert attention from driving. Some states have taken legal
action that prohibits the use of mobile phones while driving to
limit and prevent accidents. However, with the limitations and
lack of information currently available to enforce standards for
not using cell phones while driving, passing the law is not
enough, by itself, it will have a significant impact on the
driver's use of the mobile phone. This may cause accidents to
themselves and others. In fact, the use of phones on the car is
important as well. The driver uses a mobile phone to report the
accident and informs the police and firefighter of any issues
that need fixing. However, using the phone while driving is still
not a good idea. Using a mobile phone while driving is an
increased risk of a car accident that could lead to serious injury
32. or death. Estimates that hundreds of deaths each year in the
United States are the result of a car crash involving mobile
phones. So, if it is necessary to use the phone really should pull
over the car.
According to The National Safety Council said 75 percent of
Americans admit to using cell phones, and 30 percent to texting,
while driving" and they also report that cell phone use while
driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. In 2013, more
than 3,000 died in distraction-related crashes and About
400,000 people injured in collisions involving a distracted
driver. Therefore, Comprehensive action must be taken on a
national level to curb this reckless, potentially deadly behavior.
Driving while using a cell phone incurs a higher risk of
crashing, as same as to driving while drunk and should have the
proper punishment.
Problem 1 – Different regulations in each state.
The law is not yet comprehensive and not yet rigorous, speaking
on a cell phone or texting while driving has become such a
commonplace for many drivers, however many states are
cracking down. In response to safety concerns, some states have
laws but some not and there are many different regulations. For
example, there are 15 states that have Hand-held Cell Phone
Use law: D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands
prohibit all drivers from using hand-held cell phones while
driving. So, all are primary enforcement laws, an officer may
33. cite a driver for using a hand-held cell phone without any other
traffic offense taking place. Some states have Text Messaging
ban such as 47 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S.
Virgin Islands ban text messaging for all drivers.
From the above it can be seen that each state has different
regulations, the regulations are complex and the rules are not
strong enough to make people obey the law. Many people still
do not understand the rules, so they are ignoring and still use
the phone while driving. Each state should make laws as
standard. Is enforceable throughout the country and has
definitive sanctions, it will make people obey the rules.
Problem 2 – People addict social media.
Nowadays, people are addicted to the cellphones, whether it's
texting message or using social media. The United States is
considered to have high access rates to social networks in the
world. While the average global rate is 37 percent in 2017, the
online use of social networking in North America is about 66
percent. In the United States, 81 percent of the population has
social media profiles. This means that there are about 207
million social network users in the country in the year. The
figures show that the US has the third-largest user base in the
world, behind China and India but in the future, the number of
social network users in the USA is expected to increase by 217
million (Statista, 2017).
Someone is using the phone, not in the right place and not in the
34. right time like while driving. Using the phone while driving is a
distraction, it can result in consequences such as the cause of
the accident itself and may be linked to others as well.
According to The National Safety Council's annual injury and
fatality report, report injury facts found that the use of cell
phones causes 26% of the nation's car accidents, only 5% of
cellphone-related crashes occur. The reason is that the driver is
texting and talking on handheld or hands-free cellphones
(Kratsas, 2014).
Problem 3 – Using Bluetooth.
The use of different types of accessories that allow the rider to
use the phone without the need to touch the phone, such as the
use of Bluetooth to connect the phone to the car stereo. It can
reduce the risk of accidents due to physical factors and visual
factors. However, using an optional accessory will keep the
driver distracted and slow down the response to traffic signs,
and have a higher risk of accidents than those who concentrate
on driving.
The research found that the phone while driving, whether using
the phone, phone or accessory. There is a risk of serious
accidents as accessory users have a higher chance of the
accident than normal driving four times, and those who do not
use the device have a higher chance of the accident than normal
driving five times (CFSGB, 2017).
. It can see that the use of accessories that help the driver does
35. not have to use the phone while driving can reduce the risk of
physical factors, but the risk of accidents from distraction is
still high.
Summary and promise solution.
Most people nowadays want to use the phone, whether it's
texting or social media. If it is used both place and time
properly, it will not cause any problems. In response to security
concerns, some states and other countries have banned the use
of certain types of mobile phones while driving, but many states
have not had any restrictions. However, using the phone while
driving is not a good idea even using the Bluetooth, using the
phone while driving increases the risk of accident than normal
2-4 times because the driver distracted, and slow response brake
pedal decision. The controlling of the steering wheel when an
emergency is slower than normal 0.5 seconds and affects the
visibility of the sign, the traffic signs, even see the label but
cannot remember the details. There are also many drivers who
ignore the rules, and it is still potentially dangerous for drivers
who are distracted and other people. Therefore, government
officials must act in a clear direction and do not allow the use
of mobile phones and text messaging while on the way. This
regulation will not only be a way to build a nation of safe roads,
and it will be an essential means to save thousands of lives.
Enforcing mobile phone use while driving across the country
will reduce the number of families suffering from negligence.
