Nope.

Your interpretation would be deadly.

IF it is not safe for a car and you to occupy the same lane, you should just let yourself get run over?

So you think that texters won't hit you because your at the side of the road? Part of lane position is for making yourself more visible. On curvy roads, sitting at the edge can be a great way to get hit by ​"texters".
