I've driven stick shift for over a decade and this is completely false.

Constantly? No. Frequently? Yes.
- tzs 7y agoYou don't need your hand on the phone constantly to text, so I don't see why you couldn't both shift and text. My first car didn't have cup holders, and I remember managing to drive while holding a cup of soda or a shake when bring food back from fast food drive-throughs, holding the cup the entire trip. It was stick and I had no problem doing this. With a phone, I'd expect you could just set it down between messages, which should make it easier than carrying those cups was. Setting those down risked spilling them.
