I've never seen that happen, though.
These are two very different things, and studies have proven that. There was just a few days ago a discussion on "Talk of the Nation" where the difference between talking to somebody sitting next to you in a car and talking on the phone was discussed.

For myself, I know I am terribly distracted when I am on the phone and my focus is no longer 100% on the road.

But., all of us here are anyway superior beings who've figured out a better way to get to work than driving, right
