Explanation
Texting while driving a motor vehicle is illegal. It is against the law to use a hand-held cell phone for texting while operating a vehicle. Texting while driving is extremely dangerous as it diverts your attention from the road, increasing the risk of accidents. It takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your focus away from driving.
