The majority of green light strugglers I see aren't looking down. They're just staring off into space being strugglers. Generally, the ability to spend about two seconds glancing at a text at a red light is unrelated to one's ability to hit the gas when the light turns green.
Texting is the catch all for road stupidity nowadays anyway. "Someone crashed into a tree. Must have been texting." As if people didn't crash into trees before cell phones were invented.
I'll agree that texting while driving is reckless and dangerous. But I consider "while driving" to be actually driving, not waiting to drive.
