Texting while driving is not harmless, it’s a big cause of accidents.

So you are saying that any time that someone texts while driving that they always have an accident?

Or are you saying that since sometimes people are distracted by texting while driving that we have to stop all people from texting while driving.

And if we have to make it illegal for people that do things that distract them while driving, what other things do you think should be illegal while driving? Talking, singing along to the radio, eating a cheeseburger?

Please enlighten us as to how far you think the nanny state should be involved in any activity that might possibly result in harm to others.

What I’m saying is that any time someone texts while driving they are dramatically increasing the likelihood of creating an accident, kind of like drinking and driving. It’s a very simple concept, if you take your eyes, and a hand, and your brain, off the task at hand you are presenting a threat.
