What’s wrong with pulling off the road to text or use a cell phone? One report calls driving while using the hand held phone four times more dangerous than DUI. Thanks only to very surprising physical coordination on my part, I averted by about two feet a head-on collision with a group of teenagers a few months ago who veered into my lane at about 70 mph while the driver was texting; I turned the wheel of my SUV 90 degrees at 60 mph, went down an embankment and am lucky not to have rolled over. I wasn’t angry; and was most happy that they were not hurt.
If I get an emergency call while I’m driving on a side road, I do pull over. But not on a freeway. That’s way too dangerous! If I’m near an exit, I get off. But an emergency call is just that! An emergency. Some things have to be dealt with immediately. I am responsible for the health and safety of a couple thousand people. Water company. Things happen that could contaminate the whole water supply, and cause illness or even death. Same with Doctors, etc..
