Sure, there is a range of what people are able to do. As someone commented, some people can drive perfectly fine sometimes while drunk but the statistics show that drunk drivers kill.

Driving a car is operating heavy machinery which can maim/kill and there is a certain responsibility that goes with that. Texting at all while driving (even stopped at a light) should be outlawed. Not only is it unsafe, it's also rude - I don't want to have to wait for you to finish typing your text. I can't count the times I've sat at a light which was green for quite a while before the texter in front of me noticed.

And, finally, I'm sure, like drunks, some texters can drive/text just fine. But the woman who rear ended me (at a slow speed so thankfully no damage to my car) about a year ago in stop-and-go traffic was texting when she hit me. How do I know? I was paying attention and saw her doing it in my rear view mirror.
