Interestingly though, in conversation with a road safety researcher, apparently texting is not as bad as talking while driving. This doesn't negate the fact that texting while driving may be dangerous, but apparently because unlike talking it is self-paced (i.e. you can punch in two characters, look at the road, punch in another two characters, look up at the road) and so it is less demanding on your attention. I just thought that was interesting.
