What is intexticated?

Intexticated is a term given to those people, especially teenagers, who are addicted to texting and reading messages, especially when they drive. It is a take-off from the word intoxicated because of the similar connotation of driving and also being busy on the phone at the same time. A British study has found that intexticated drivers are worse than intoxicated ones.
