The accident I got into involving my cell phone was when I wasn’t using it. I was on my way to open my brother-in-law’s store. The phone ran two different times. I thought it might be an emergency, so pulled off the freeway to find a parking lot to call back from. I was waiting on the off ramp and got rear ended. I wonder if I would have been safer if I had answered.
I'm very sorry to hear that you had an accident, and I hope that you weren't injured.
With the current gas price dynamics, you can probably pick up a nice shiny (and safe!) Hummer for a near-steal, and you could justify the extra gas expense by how much you're saving on hospital stays due to injuries suffered in tiny cars :-)
