To be fair, I did not read the article.

Sure, it’s dangerous. But to look at raw deaths and injuries is the wrong way to look at it. Whenever this is brought up they never normalize by # drivers who are actually engaged in the activity.

Sure, more injuries come from texting and distracted driving, but you know how many people are texting while driving? Probably about a third of the people out there. How many people are driving drunk at any given moment? Maybe 1/10,000?

Sure that means in aggregate texting while driving poses a big threat to the safety of everyone on the road, but any individual person texting is not anywhere close to the same risk as a drunk driver.
