Is this credible?

Overall, the New York Times website, in which I found this article, is highly credible. This site provides all the links and information to prove its credability as a reliable resource to refer to. The New York Times is a very well-known newspaper company that has a world-wide known reputation. It has plently of resources that the authors use to compile their articles and go through revision processes to put together the most accurate data. With that in mind, it increased my trust in using this place as an information gateway.

The article I specifically chose provides a good deal of information that has been pulled from several places. His article includes a number of "audiences" to provide opinion, facts, statistics, etc. such as politicians, young adults, reseachers and parents. So it wasn't aimed at just one group but many. The background of the author is also provided as well as email.

I trust this website since not only does it come from a well-known company but the author put together the article very well with plenty of information.

Thesis Statement

Texting on a cellular device has become a huge distraction for people while they are operating a vehicle. In response to this increasing problem, the U.S. law system should communicate with cell phone companies in the coming months to restrict the service of texting while drivers are operating a vehicle on the road, for example companies create cell phones that have a sensor that will only allow calling while people are driving.
