I dont think may people actually stare at their phone whilst texting and riding anyway, most people know where the buttons are just like most people here could type perfectly well on their keyboards with their eyes closed. You would just take a quick glance down which is no different to driving your car and taking a quick glance at your passenger talking to you.
