It's illegal now in Canada.
Back when I had my motorola krzr I could text and drive with one hand and wouldn't have to look at the phone because I knew where all the keys were and how many clicks each letter required.
With the iphone's touchscreen, you cant really feel around for the keys so I haven't been able to.

Everyone who texts and drives is a complete idiot. you risk killing others because you couldnt wait to text your buddy back.
Not only that, nothing pisses me off more when I see someone in the left lane going 50 in a 65 and I pass them and see that theyre texting.

i am physically able to text and drive if thats what you mean, but it is illegal here in NY. ill usually send out a text or two when im at a red light
I can do it pretty well, but I don't for the most part. Usually the people I see all over the road or just not paying attention in general have a cell phone shoved in front of their face so at least one of us have to be alert. 
I was pulled over for texting and driving, and the officer had no idea who I was, until he read this about it in the news the next day. He contacted my record label and apologized ahaha
Doesn't matter if you can or not..sending or replying to a text message while driving isn't worth risking your life over.
I hope that's not rationale for actually doing so because to be honest, it's quite stupid.
1) I'm Sasha Fierce
2) I was texting my husband something very important and it couldn't wait.
It's illegal to text or talk on your phone (handheld) in NY. It will add two points to your license if you are caught. Statistics say it is safer to drive drunk!!
Umm I might like to point out to both you you handsfree vs holding phone to make a phone call does not make you a safer driver. It is not the part of holding the phone to your head that causes everything to in the crappier. It is the phone call and the distraction from the phone call itself. Handfree does not make you a safer driver. Hell I would almost argue the people who believe the stuff you posted are a more dangerous driver when talking on handfree than not because they have a false sense of security.
As for me texting and driving. The only time I will txt while driving is when I am at a stop light or a stop sign and not moving. Hell I have the LED set on my phone to flash certain colors depending on who it is that text me so from that I can get get a good idea of relevant information from it.
Texting while driving is illegal in many states. On the other hand there isn't any law against emailing and driving.
I used to be a master at it when I had my Razr and Razr2. The physical keys allowed me to do it without even having to look at the phone at all.
When I got my Android phone, that ability severely decreased, since you really have to pay attention to the screen, so I stopped. Same with my iPhone. Now I will only text while driving if it's somewhat urgent, and I always wait until I'm stopped at a red light. Sometimes I will have to stop when the light turns green, then I just resume typing at the next light.
Also, here in Michigan, they just recently made it illegal to text while your car is in motion (which is great). I think you get a $100 fine for your first offense, and it increases each time thereafter, though I don't recall the exact details.
One time I saw this lady driving an SUV... pulled up next to her at a light and just happened to look over... somehow she was reading a book, texting on her phone, and smoking a cigarette. I don't even know how that's possible, but I wanted to punch her in the face.

texting and driving should be banned, just like drinking and driving.
It's caused way too many deaths recently.

This.
I'm guilty of doing it before but I try not to. Michigan recently approved a law making it illegal, as it should be in my opinion.
yes I can, but its hard, so I do not unless sitting at a red light and have enough time to send something short.
It should be illegal along with checking email.
