ANSWER:

This is not shirk but sinful as you are breaking the law of the land you’re living in and threatening the lives of others while bringing a bad name for muslims for being irresponsible. 

When I am driving and texting at the same time, and then I see a cop and put my phone down, is this shirk? (Since Allah was watching me I didn’t stop but for a cop I did…) this has been stressing me out a lot because sometimes I use my phone when I need to when driving.

What is a punishment of doing something which is haram
Next

My father runs a tobacco store, selling cigars, cigarettes and the like. He wishes that I take over the main store so he can expand it. He will start training me in a week on how to manage the store. I know this is haram. But, how can I tell my father this is haram? Also, if he does not listen, is it permissible that I run the store until I can sell it and donate the money to charity?
