Using a cell phone while driving is a distraction. Even a simple conversation divides your attention. This means you will be less likely to respont to a hazard in time to avoid a crash. Other tasks such as texting, which require you to take your eyes off the road, are even worse as you cannot sea, for example, if someone has stopped in front of you.
