This is why it is very important to put down the phone and keep both hands on the wheel. What is very surprising is that it is not so much the teenagers that are to blame for the texting and driving accidents, but also the parents. Be a good example for your children and put down the phone. There is nothing so important that you cannot tell someone once you arrive at your destination. You're lost and texting for directions? Pull over. You'll be more than lost if you have an accident.

I've been guilty of this myself. I remember driving a truck back in the 90s, when phones just started to come out everywhere, and I was trying to dial while driving. Next thing I know I had to slam on my brakes to avoid a wreck ahead of me and I was within 6 inches of hitting the car in front of me. Had it been 1/2 of a second later and it would have been a full impact.

Gotta put down the phone and/or use whatever is legal for you like bluetooth or handsfree dialing.
