Like any other countries coping with road safety problems, the Philippines is also beset with troubles in dealing with uncooperative and disobedient motorists. Before, only DUI, road rage and various traffic incidences were the causes of road accidents. In today’s traffic situation, road accidents rose based on the prevailing statistics released by government agency and other sectors tasked to implement and monitor road activities nationwide.

According to the report, road accidents were up 5 times because of motorists’ habit of using cellular phone while driving. Although, congress has yet to pass a law banning motorist from using the device while driving, the authorities always remind the motorists to avoid fiddling their CP while on wheel.

Hence the move of the authorities is a positive step; the purpose insufficiently fell short of minimizing road accidents.  Motorists who are mobile phone addicts were unconvinced and continue to practice the habit of fiddling CP while driving resulting therefore to unnecessary road accidents that causes damage and death.
