1. Texting while driving is dangerous because it distracts you from the task of operating a vehicle.
2. Using a rope to operate your windshield wipers while driving is even MORE dangerous because you are not only distracted, but also have impaired vision and likely wet roads to contend with.
Why you keep bringing up the lack of reference to cell phone use in the review is puzzling. The reviewer owned the car in 1980-81, when cell phones were practically non-existent, and texting was still many years away. Nowhere does it state the reviewer was texting; it was an analogy as 14:23 has already pointed out to you.
Unless you are indeed a troll, this should end it.

It was an analogy. Look up the word if it’s new to you if you like or don’t. It's up to you.
In a nutshell here is the answer. If you cannot see the road, a comparison. You can’t devote your time to seeing the road when you are phoning or texting. Likewise... If you are barely moving wipers with a rope vs a wiper motor you are not seeing the road much either. Analogy. It’s not about cell phones it’s a comparison on a driver not seeing properly or safely. Plus both are illegal. If you don’t get it, you’ll get over it guaranteed.
