Driving While Texting

Texting while driving seems like a bad thing to do. Can someone accurately focus on the road while texting? I mean with drinking and driving, you are in control of your driving, as long as your not at least .20 blood alcohol level or something like that. But with texting, your not looking at the road while you text. Well, some people might be able to do this, a lot will not. But the funny thing is, I can understand having laws against texting while driving. Should they also have the same penalties as dui laws? Should someone getting caught texting while driving, lose their driver's license for 1 - 5 years, go to jail, and be loaded up with $10,000 or more in court costs and fines? Since it appears texting while driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving, why does the penalty not match the crime? Doesn't make a lot of sense. That's why until someone can tell me why dui laws are the way they are, I would logically have to believe that dui laws are conspiracy against America's alcohol drinkers. When the punishment doesn't even come close to the severity of the crime, you really have to start questioning what is going in this country and why.
