text: Even though some people would say that it is very distracting from the road which it can be but if you use the tools you can buy you can do it without having to look up. Some people use the hand-free tools like the phone holder that you can place anywhere in your car. Also for texting you can you use a voice app on your phone to not have to look down. You can just talk right into it and it types it for you. Plus you can use your phone at a red light or stop sign to finish doing something.
