.....so if I can drive great while texting, I guess that means I'll be an exceptional drunk driver right?

NO YOU MORON WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THAT GOT DAMN IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE TO TEXT WHILE YOU DRIVE?? IF IT ISN'T AN EMERGENCY I DON'T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON THEIR PHONES WHILE DRIVING I KNOW I GET PISSED WHEN I'M DRIVING AND OTHER DRIVERS DO STUPID MOVES AND ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THEIR PHONES THEY'RE JUST AS BAD AS ELDERLY DRIVERS

You shouldnt have to send a message to anyone while driving.

i text all the time... but only when i am stopped at stoplights... qwerty phones are perfect to text on cause its all fast.! " dont drink and drive... you might hit a bump and spill your drink.... Dont drive and text... you might hit a bump and hit the wrong letter"

Honestly if I got hit in my car from a driver whether by "drinking" or by "text" and my kids were in the car, I'd beat the tar out of who ever hit me regardless of "influence"...When your in the car, operate the damn vehicle....Save the other crap when your not endangering anyone else.
