It's basically like driving drunk. The NY Times has been running a series on this issue, called "Driven to Distraction," for several years. One article tells the story of my stepmother, Linda Doyle, who died after a driver on his cellphone drove through a red light and broadsided her. He wasn't texting and he wasn't fumbling with his handheld device - he was just talking, and he saw neither the red light nor her Toyota SUV.
