Is it so hard to put the phone down for the minutes you are driving during? Is it that addicting?

Why is it so imperative to use your phone while behind the wheel? Might it be better to use this time to break the addiction?

Idk. I don’t have a car. I still turn my phone off for 24-48 hours at a time because I enjoyed the ways things were before cell phones existed. I applaud people who pull over to take a phone call instead of using hands free talking. I am also curious if something like this might significantly reduce deaths due to inattentive driving or not.
