A student is preparing a persuasive speech on texting and driving. Here is her claim:

When police officers see drivers looking at screens while driving, the officers should pull over those drivers and issue tickets and fines because texting and driving is dangerous for everyone on the road.

Which statement best introduces a counterargument to the writer's claim?

A.
Recent research by the American Safety Institute indicates that the average texting driver looks away from the road for up to 45 seconds while reading or composing a text message.

B.
Some drivers are very skilled at texting and paying close attention to other cars and traffic. To prohibit all drivers from texting would be unfair.

C.
There are many different reasons why a driver might be distracted, including eating while driving, noisy children, and loud music. Eliminating texting will not eliminate all driving distractions. If all distractions are not eliminated, the decline in distraction-related accidents will not be significant.

D.
The National Truck Drivers Association is concerned that new laws forbidding the use of screens while driving will prohibit drivers from using onboard computers. The computers have large screens and have been shown to be safe to read while driving.They are an important navigation and communication tool.
