A poll out this week found that 89 percent of respondents believe text messaging while driving is dangerous and should be outlawed, while at the same time 66 percent admitted to either reading or sending the messages while behind the wheel. The Harris Interactive survey found that, not surprisingly, 64 percent of those who admitted texting while driving were aged 18 to 34, while just six percent were 55 or older.
Washington state in May passed the first U.S. ban on texting while driving, and at least six other states are considering similar legislation.

Absolutely! This is a no brainer.
Anytime a driver is distracted from the road he/she becomes a hazard of 4000+ pounds of steel and glass. Most especially this is being abused by teens and less mature drivers.
YES - it should be illegal to text while driving.
And not only should it be outlawed, but it should be ENFORCED once it is outlawed.
Pleeeeaaase tell me you didn't text this while you're driving.
