the red light because of whom everyone in the

light turned green.
According to the studies, 70 of drivers engage
in a smartphone while driving, from sending
emails to browsing social media accounts. A lot
of these activities internet browsing, video
calling, taking selfies and trying to be uber

imprisonment, depending on the severity of the
damage/violation you have caused while using a
smartphone while driving. Let us highlight the
