Of course it would be difficult to prove as it's almost impossible to determine how many people text and drive.
I've read the studies that show texting or talking on the telephone while driving causes the same degree of impairment as driving legally drunk.
There is a lot of safety literature in this area.
almost all of these "studies" begin with an agenda. Give me any topic, tell me the result you want, and I can conduct a study that will draw the desired conclusion.
Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner!
