Driving one armed around a kart track, depending on conditions, I can gain a tenth, but typically its a loss of of a tenth or two a lap. I can also try to glance at and read a scoreboard right as I should be slowing down for turn one...most of the time I make that to.

I think if someone puts enough attention outside their car, and keeping their car on the road where it should be is simply natural, there's not too much wrong with texting and driving, just be ready to drop that phone if someone cuts in front of you, etc.

I send out a text maybe once a month, sometimes more, not enough to find the need to do it while driving, but I feel there are situations I could safely do it. I'm not annoyed that I'm not supposed to in the state I do most of my driving in - I do not trust most drivers to text and drive.
