text: Now some people may say, "Talking on the phone while driving isn't bad". It seems like to you, that you aren't as distracted when driving, but in reality, you still are distracted even when just talking on the phone. You could simply hook up your phone to your car, to solve that problem. Even when just talking, you still have to answer and decline the phone. During that time you still have to look at your phone, and once again you become distracted. So talking on the phone while driving, is bad.
