There is DWI - driving while intoxicated and DWT - driving while texting. Both are extremely dangerous and there are statistics that say teens are to blame the most for the ladder. In fact 46% of teens text while driving and can be a parents nightmare if something happens to their child and to the victim if an accident occurs. This is not the best statistics on texting people want to know about or have their children a part of.
Although you can make an argument a person can operate a vehicle safely while talking on the phone
but preferably with a head piece. But in no case can you argue that you can take your eyes off the road trying to send a text message. Texting just like alcohol does not go hand in hand with driving and operating a vehicle.
There are many statistics on texting that are interesting to discuss. Recruiting in college sports in super competitive with convincing student athletes to attend a school. Coaches and recruiters have until recently utilized texting to communicate with their prospects since there were limits to phone conversations. They utilized texting as a way to get around that but that is now banned as well. One prospect who planned on attending the University of Florida would get over 100 text messages a day from competing coaches. He commented and said that he had to empty his inbox twice a day to allow for additional texts.
More statistics on texting - Almost 70% of American users send at least 1 text message every single day.

And how big will these statistics on texting become in America? We've just seen Irish numbers by the Irish telecoms regulator say that they average 5 SMS sent per day across the whole subscriber base. UK reports 6. South Korea reports 10. Singapore reports 12 SMS text messages and the Philippines report 15 SMS text messages sent per day on average across the total subscriber base.
There is NO age limit to SMS. Most grandparents learn to send text messages by connecting with their grandkids - back in 2005 M:Metrics reported that 14% of Americans over age 65 sent text messages (I don't have more current numbers). Bearing in mind that back then 39% of Americans age 65 and above had a cellphone, that means over two YEARS ago 36% of American senior citizens who owned a cellphone, were already active users of SMS text messaging.
