text: People are putting a lot at risk by texting while driving because your not gonna be as focused on the road as if your texting on the phone. Doing that can highly put risk a lot of people's life due to the fact of your reaction time is minimized. Say your driving on the freeway 60 mph and your on the phone your gonna be 50% on the road and 50% on the phone. Doing that puts so much risk and could potentially end someone's life.
