   "texting" while driving is illegal in Virginia but it doesn't stop   
   people from doing it.  I can't remember if it's a primary or secondary   
   offense though.  They can pull you over for a primary offense, but the   
   secondary offense requires a primary offense infraction first.  Maybe   
   it's because the cops are looking at their phones while driving too.   
      
   As a motorcycle rider I'm hyper aware of the attention level of other   
   drivers, and I can tell you at least a third of people are looking at   
   their phones while driving.
