Sure - you could be having sex behind the wheel of your car, and it would be more dangerous. But.... do you honestly think that an activity that by its very nature REQUIRES you to be looking down is a good idea?
In the UK, people have been taken to court for as little as eating an apple while driving. "Both hands on the wheel" is the law there, and is taken very seriously by the cops. A bit TOO seriously, IMHO, but there it is.
I feel the PSA is an accurate dramatisation of the way it could go down. Is it pleasant to watch? No. Would the real thing be pleasant to watch, or be involved in? No freakin' way!
I'm kinda glad you live in Texas, where there are (probavbly) fewer cars on hte road than in the NorthEast.
