The amazing thing is that we even need to have this conversation, and that we needed to spend $6 million to prove what any moron ought to be able to figure out with a moment's thought. If you are smart enough to press the keys, you should be smart enough to know that texting while driving is just plain stupid.
Exactly my thoughts. Seems blatantly obvious to me. I've never texted while driving; I mostly avoid using cell phones at all while driving, unless I'm coordinating to pick up someone at the airport, etc.
