text: Driving should be something you put all your attention to when doing it. Keeping your eyes on the road, having both hands on the steering wheel and a foot to the brakes & gas are the only things you should be doing when driving. Phones are a distraction to this and cause you not to put all your focus into handling your motor vehicle. Imagine your driving 55 mph, you take your eyes off the road for a few seconds just to check if someone texted you back that's like if you were driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. Anything can happen within those few seconds, things can go sideways just with a snap of a finger.
