The difficulty is enforcement.

People look at their phones when they txt. Maybe once, maybe the whole time.

I think you will find that there is many a kiwi teenager who can text without looking at there phone, not even once! Comes from being not allowed to use their ph in class, so they learn to text with the ph in their pocket.

I personally know many kids who never even glance at it while texting.

I still think that texting while driving is dangerous though. Gee, I don't even talk on my ph while driving.

Ever try and hold a conversation with them while they're txting????

And of course at one stage they have read (decypher) the reply.

All good for destroying concentration.

Yes, actually. hXc can text without looking at his phone and can have a conversation at the same time ( OMG, does this mean he can multi task?).

However, if I ever caught him texting and driving at the same time, I would take away his car privileges, and he knows it.

Whilst he and no doubt many others can talk and text at the same time, it does not mean that he, or anyone else, could or should attempt driving and texting at the same time.

I think he meant a conversation with the person he was texting.....
