If your point is that people's reaction times get better with age, I think you're going to find research is against you on that one as well.
I'm not harping on texting specifically. I'm against distracted driving for whatever reason. Everyone should ask themselves why cars get safer and safer but traffic fatalities never go down. A lot of people think it is because drivers adjust to be more distracted and dangerous because they feel safer in the car.

Where did I say that reaction times get better with age? I stated that a younger person is going to get distracted more easily... that is their nature.
To play devil's advocate then, do you listen to the radio? Look at pedestrains? Think about anything other than driving? All of those are distractions as well.
