What if I am good at both texting and driving, and texting, and driving?

Wouldn't it be "I'm good at texting while driving." if you wanted to say that you're doing it at the same time?
I still don't like the Oxford comma.

I think you need a series (listing of three or more) to use the Oxford comma.

I thought @OP's example was an Oxford comma. Huh...
