Texting while driving is one of the most common killers on the highway. Your attention is taken off your driving, the other drivers and the road. Your hands are off the steering wheel. You have become a two ton killer hurtling down the road out of control. If you are traveling at 55 MPH that’s like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. It might be okay of you were the only one affected by your disregard for safety but you may kill innocent victims and leave your family grieving for you.
Texting requires some level of concentration, as text must be read, understood, then an answer must be created, then typed. The energy put into texting is removed from the road, where all your attention should be. The unexpected could happen, and your reaction time would be too slow.
Texting requires more concentration than having a conversation on the phone and that is banned in many countries.
The safest way to handle a text while driving is to pull over as soon as possible and reply or simply wait until you are done driving to attend to the text message.
Because it is a detraction to the driver and a threat to all other drivers on the road so think about it before you end up in a ditch or dead.
Texting while driving is very dangerous and should be outlawed.

Because texting while driving kills people ! Not just the driver - but innocent pedestrians, passengers and other road users !
Even one is too many ! If you're driving a car you have no business using a mobile phone !! There should be a GLOBAL BAN on using a mobile while driving. You either drive the car or use the phone - not both !There should be much stiffer penalties for anyone causing an accident while texting. Here in the UK - offences range from 'driving without due care and attention' to 'causing death by dangerous driving'. Pesonally I'd like to see anyone killing a person because they were texting while driving, charged with at least manslaughter !
