Not many people I know of that can't handle looking at a phone and NOT taking their foot off the brake. The root cause of someone taking their foot off the brake would be their own stupidity, nothing to do with a text.

I know people who have been distracted while looking for an FM station or a song on a CD and have eased up the pressure on their brakes, with out knowing, and have hit the rear end of a vehicle. It's not a case of someone who should not be driving but rather a person who should have all their focus on the vehicle they are driving.
