> My second thought: Would it be possible to create an app that would disable the texting function while driving? E.g. use the GPS functionality to detect when the phone is moving above a certain speed. Of course, the problem with this solution is that you wouldn't be able to text when riding as a passenger in a car or bus.
There are apps that do exactly this.

Siri does that on iPhones, but you still have to check the text and correct mistakes which might be more demanding of a task than simply typing it.
@daenz: My first thought also was that this was a very dangerous idea.

My third thought: I'm too lazy right now to check, but are there apps that let you send a text by speaking the message you want to send?
