> Are there no legitimate reasons for texting while driving?

Not if you're driving -- it's inexcusable. It's hard enough to type on a small device's virtual keyboard while sitting at a desk without any distractions, much less while trying to move a massive, potentially lethal weapon along the public roads.

> I don't see the harm in sending one or two quick messages while stopped or moving at very low speeds.

That's a classic slippery slope -- society would rightly forbid texting simply because different people would define "quick messages" and "very low speeds" differently.
