text: However, some people will try to debate that they need their phone, or it was important, and it very may well have been, but if it wasn't an emergency then there is no reason to be on their phone. Everybody has the choice to pull over if they want to be on the phone. Quick example, most people can't even walk and chew gum and think that they can drive and text. Although it's not just texting while driving, I feel as though you shouldn't be on your phone while on the road period. Many people die from texting and walking into the street and not looking.
