For the record, I never text and drive. I have enough trouble texting (without a keyboard only a phone pad) when standing/sitting still.
It's not our fault that you're too old to know how to text.
For instance, I can honestly text without even looking at my phone. The only time I actually look at is it after I've typed my response to read it and make sure it says what I intended for it to say. Which takes about as long as it takes to check to see what time it is or what station I'm listening to on the stereo.
Therefore it's stupid to advocate banning something that does not CAUSE accidents. Not paying attention causes accidents. Texting/talking/scratching your ass does not cause accidents.
And why did you give the example of your friend's wife getting in a wreck from spilling her coffee when we're talking about texting/talking on the cell phone while driving. Hot coffee in the lap is obviously more distracting. So is the hot cherry from a cigar or cigarette falling into your lap. So let's add smoking while driving to the list of things to ban. See the flaw in logic in this yet?
