You might as well close your eyes and use whatever mental technique you can think of to take your mind off the fact you are in control of a motor vehicle and during the licensing phase you learned to be in care and control of the vehicle at all times. If you have a license, and it is a privelage to drive, than follow the rules. I can barely understand what you are writing. Try to remember the materials that make up your driving exam, or did you read it in disbelief?
Studies have proven texting is bad, go argue with the studies.

Not sure what your second paragraph is for. It doesn't matter if you disagree, studies prove distracted driving is as bad as drunk driving. You don't like it? Quit driving please, you might save a life.
