Close to 10 deaths per day (>3000 per year) and 10% of all traffic fatalities in the US, and you want to claim it's not dangerous?

I'd reckon 9/10 instances of "distracted driving" deaths involve texting/looking at the phone. Maybe this could reduce those numbers by 90%.

Is it so hard to put the phone down for the minutes you are driving during? Is it that addicting?

Why is it so imperative to use your phone while behind the wheel? Might it be better to use this time to break the addiction?

I am absolutely saying that your claim that conversing is nearly as dangerous as looking at your phone, is total nonsense. And your link doesn't do anything to support your claim.
