Driving while on the phone, texting, is a plague in Iceland. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen distracted driving here and how often its been near misses of people driving off the road, slamming on breaks when they look up and all kinds of nonsense.
I installed a hands free bluetooth to answer my phone, which I rarely do when driving, and I will not look at my phone unless I'm at a complete stop. I think the severity of how bad this really is on the road is lost on the generation growing up with these technology, my nieces are just scary bad at this and I try to gently remind them of the danger's when I see them do it.
