text: Operating a vehicle requires your full attention to maximize the safety of you and your friends or loved ones. But also I slightly feel that at times it is okay to text and drive as long as you're not going over 15 miles an hour and is repeatedly looking up at the road while typing. It honestly just depends on the person behind the wheel, whether their good, bad, or smart about it. But in all reality I wouldn't text and drive be the smarter person and wait until you're at your destination or pull over if it's an emergency.
