Unmentioned is touchscreens frequently don't work. I often have to make repeated presses on my iphone until it registers. The same with swipes. Since there is no audible or tactile feedback, this cannot work well while keeping your eyes on the road.

That's pretty weird and indicates your phone or its touchscreen might be defective, you should get it looked at, because other than with old resistive touchscreen phones I've never had capacitive touchscreen phones need multiple presses.

The older you get, the dryer the skin, and the less capacitive contact available.

Or if, heaven forbid, it's cold where you live and you need to wear gloves.

I think something might be wrong with your phone. Or your finger.
