Good point. I see texting as distracting but what about any newer vehicles with an information center or computer in the center of your console. Pretty much any newer car in the past few years has one. Anything can be distracting from eating that Big Mac while driving too.
Yes you can use voice commands but I found myself starring at the screen to get the right climate control settings and the right radio station etc.. Lucky my wife was driving.
What about tuning a radio- or yappin to your friend in the next seat or yapping on your Cellphone even with a Blue tooth device.
I did not even mention the Navigation screen etc..too - and do not get me wrong I have a Ford SUV thats run of the mill not a BMW etc..
So-- I find it impossible to chew gum/talk on my blue tooth and drive effectively and safely, so I dont but many do....
