I don't think it's a small subset at all. I think it's a major component of people's psyche in car choices and driving, but I never actually understood why it's weighted so heavily in consumers' minds. I just cared enough to google it, but I'm still interested to hear personal reasons here.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
