text: Texting while driving is a serious matter. Lives are at risk due to someone wanting to send just one letter to their friend. Since when was texting your friend more important than living to see them again. Some don't even text they just scroll on Instagram to see what's happening. If we still had flip phones and no touch screen people would just answer a call which is better but still risky because you take your focus off the road. Texts aren't gonna kill you if you don't text back, your mom will understand.
