Close to 10 deaths per day (>3000 per year) and 10% of all traffic fatalities in the US, and you want to claim it's not dangerous?

I'd reckon 9/10 instances of "distracted driving" deaths involve texting/looking at the phone. Maybe this could reduce those numbers by 90%.

I am absolutely saying that your claim that conversing is nearly as dangerous as looking at your phone, is total nonsense. And your link doesn't do anything to support your claim.
