A friend of mine was nearly killed by a driver who was texting while driving. The crash broke nearly every bone in his body and put him in a coma for three months. When he got out of the hospital, he couldn't walk up the steps to his home anymore.

Texting while driving is definitely something people *should* be concerned about. Being concerned is what keeps accident rates down.

The dangers may be exaggerated statistically but it is still a terrible idea. Nearly all of my near misses with a car while biking involve somebody texting or yapping on their cell phone.

Basing law or policy on exaggeration is bad, whether it is traffic or immigration.
