I think it's a good idea; most people overestimate their ability to multi-task. It's impossible to concentrate on driving when you are looking down at your phone screen.

Texting while driving leads to increased distraction behind the wheel. The risk of crashing while texting driving increases by 23 times, because reading or sending a text diverts the driver's eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds -- the same as driving the length of a football field, blind, at 55 mph.
