Some may say that its only a second or two with their eyes off the road and its not a distraction. However, I saw on a Dr. Phil segment once about texting and driving and they put a camera in a car with a young woman who would always text and drive and at one point she was driving with knee and texting on her phone and did not put her hands back on the wheel for about a minute and thirty seconds I think it was. The girl realized how dangerous this was and I only hope that all people who text and drive can realize how dangerous it is and awareness can be raised.
