I just worked five years a job where I was driving constantly and talking on the phone. Never even a close call because I was paying extra attention.
And yes I did HAVE to talk on the phone if I would have pulled over each time I would have been fired a long time ago for exceeding my monthly allotment of hours.
Lots of working driving people MUST talk and drive at the same time.
I recently got a Bluetooth and I like it.
When you get a badge, then maybe you can do it all too. Everyone thinks they are intelligent and that certainly is up for interpretation, as well as mutli-tasking abilities.

Again, no one has to talk on the phone while driving no matter how much they try to justify it. No one, working people included - as if they are so important, which they are not. This is but an example of a modern convenience turned into a must have.
