I text all the time while driving....local traffic, highway et al....
Never touch my phone....
Use the blue tooth from the car to the phone and just talk....simpler than a conversation. Responses are read to me....
Both hands on the wheel and eyes forward.... I never touch my phone while driving... text , unlike conversation can be paused if required...
You can’t drive at Fort Campbell with cellphone stuck to your face, the MPs will give you a ticket
