text: You shouldn't be on your phone in the car because you can get distracted from the road and in up doing something or crashing. Also if you have someone else in the car with you, you will end up putting their life at risk there life shouldn't be in the hands of someone who focus on their phone more than driving. Texting & driving is more debilitating to your reaction time than driving while under the influence of alcohol. That shows that what you are doing on your phone you will be more on that then driving and have more of a chance of crashing or getting in a wreck.
