Texting while driving shown to be more dangerous than driving while impaired.
In our test, neither subject had any idea that using his phone would slow down his reaction time so much. Like most folks, they think they’re pretty good drivers. Our results prove otherwise, at both city and highway speeds. The key element to driving safely is keeping your eyes and your mind on the road. Text messaging distracts any driver from that primary task. So the next time you’re tempted to text, tweet, e-mail, or otherwise type while driving, either ignore the urge or pull over. We don’t want you rear-ending us.

I have no doubt. I try to do it on occasion and then vow never to do it again. Although I imagine it might be easier if I had physical buttons to feel instead of having to look.

On occasion? Dude, you're constantly surfing the web/posting to flamefans/tweeting/texting/flirting with HMO while you drive. It's the only way you can function since you got your storm.

No, I'll occasionally check the weather, but that's the extent of what I do while driving.

No, but if you're dead, then it won't matter.
