Yeah the driver is usually doing something stupid like texting too. Which reminds me of the Werner Herzog documentary From One Second to the Next (2013) @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1vCqfYpos
I'm from the UK and have just come back from staying a month in Louisiana, mainly New Orleans, and Georgia and have spent a few months in Georgia previously. American drivers, at least in the south, are scary. Like you say, things like using your phone and eating while driving, which are strongly frowned upon where I'm from and pretty rare to see are very common sights. Even drinking and driving doesn't seem to have the same stigma attached to it as it does here.
Drivers in general also seem to be more aggressive and will drive over the speed limit and cut each other off.
To anybody who hasn't seen it, Werner Herzog made a short film about texting and driving called From One Second to the Next which I recommend. It can be found on YouTube.

Absolutely gut-wrenching.
