Opposing Argument

Your answer

Critics object that...

* those who text while driving should not have their license taken away. These critics insist that texting and driving is not a valid reason for drivers to lose their license.

* taking away a texter's license for a year is too severe a punishment. These critics point out that those who don't live near public transportation might lose their jobs or miss school because they couldn't drive.

Furthermore, critics argue that there are better ways to address the issue of texting while driving than by revoking someone's license. They contend that educating drivers about the dangers of texting while driving and increasing penalties, such as fines or mandatory defensive driving courses, would be more effective in changing behavior.
