Deaf people do drive.
I'm not deaf, but close to it. The eyes have to do double duty looking for what may not be heard.

Until our economy does a turnaround I seriously doubt enforcement will have much impact on texting. Our community was already short handed in law enforcement and the 2013 budget cut back in this area even more. There used to be a property crimes unit which was also lost in the 2013 budget. Then there are enforcement priorities. In the entire gamete of crimes I wonder where texting fits in or does it even have a ranking.

Gee, maybe no one should be using interactive communication while a vehicle
is in motion.
As far as deaf people driving, I have severe hearing loss, so any outside auditory
distraction makes my job of driving safely even more difficult. If you're hard of
hearing, you compensate by greater visual attention as Dave said. If you have
normal hearing, your other senses don't compensate, so in a sense, you're driving
with a sound distraction.
Driving is a full time, full attention required job. If you aren't paying full attention,
you're impaired.

I will assume it's because they use a standard ATM machine face; walk up or drive up.

Some towns are fining people for texting while walking. People walk out in front of cars and end up dead.
Texting while walking blamed in the nationwide increase of pedestrian deaths | Mail Online

And if texting wasn't bad enough.....
"People Who Take Selfies On Instagram While Driving Are The Worst People". Kinda sounds like a drug combo...

Every time I think "It's not possible for people to become more self-absorbed"..... I end up being wrong.

From your link, yet people keep doing it. Too bad someone isn't able to go after those who do that and charge them.
The absolute worst I know of though was a woman a few years ago that hit a utility pole. She was huffing keyboard cleaner at the time. One of the side effects of keyboard cleaner is paralysis, so she was going down the road knowing full well she wouldn't be able to control the car.
