ANNOTATED ARTICLE

In the article "Distracted Driving for Novice Drivers" gene emery argues that dialing or reaching to get a ringing phone poses more of a threat than the act of talking on the phone itself. Still, it shouldn't be disregarded as a threat to crashing. Emery supports her claim by presenting information such as new released studies that monitored 151 U.S licensed drivers to log what they were doing prior to an accident or a near-miss. The authors purpose is to inform and point out certain dangers of driving while distracted that might be uncovered or unnoticed so that people can keep their eyes on the road and regard things they might have not before. The author writes in a serious tone in the article to inform readers, in particular young readers to be aware of their actions and what harm they could cause for themselves and others around them.
