On a serious note, I tend to agree. We all did fine 20 years ago without the need to chat on the phone whilst driving.
I've spoken to people on the phone who miss turn offs, etc because they were paying attention to the phone call and not the road.
It's easier to zone out of a conversation with someone in the car then on the phone, being on the phone takes more concentration. (At least in my opinion)

Sure there will be the argument of “Well if ya ban phones, why not ban CB’s”

No answer for that, perhaps it’s the primary/intended use of each?

Simply, drivers do not pay enough attention to the road and surroundings.
