I'm not good enough at texting to even want to try - to be honest. Its just I feel there are people out there that could do it safely. Following distance, traffic, amount the road changes direction, risk of animals, etc, all play a part.
In my opinion, a lot of the people involved in accidents while texting - would likely get into an accident anyway. They are so distracted, cannot focus on the road, etc. Its not the texting - that is just a sympton. I have a friend who texted a lot and drove - she wrecked and totaled her car - she was not texting at the time. Just the personality of some one who feels they HAVE to get that text out while driving is more likely to wreck - even if you take away the texting.
