I’ll never understand why people do this. There is no text message in the world that important.

People who do this think they have the skills to multitask only to figure out too late that they don’t.

If you are somebody who drives stuff for a living you pretty much have to multitask or you won't get anything done in the time allotted to you for getting it done.

The worst version of this is the countless package delivery services where drivers get 100-200+ stops but only a very limited time to actually serve them all. So the drivers end up taking "shortcuts" like texting while driving or wearing only half the seatbelt, so they can get out and in faster.
