Cell phone use while driving doesn't get a lot of attention here (disclaimer: such news or talk may get even less attention from me, a non-driver), but it is definitely recognised. There is a long-standing prohibition of calling without transmitter, but recently... <checking> from August last year, high penalties were set (10-20,000 Ft, that's €37.5-75 right now; and two points). I don't know if rules mention texting specifically.
