I'm not militant about drivers using phones. A quick call here and there seems like it could be done safely.
But talking on the phone non-stop (while driving) is akin to having an elevated blood alcohol level.
Some show did a program on that in the UK. I don't remember if it was one of those Brain Games shows or what (I think it was). A guy spent his days on the road, "multitasking" with all the gear to allow him to be hands free. He told friends and family how good he was at multitasking. Then they put him to the test and actually measured his awareness and reaction times in various conditions, with and without the phone, etc, and they found that no matter how great he thought he was, it severely impacted his driving ability.
