Just because you can do it just fine doesn't mean the majority of the population can do it too. If they could, there wouldn't be a problem. Also, it is different from talking to a person next to you because it blocks off part of your peripheral vision and occupies one of your hands, giving you less control over the steering wheel. Unless you're one of those people who drives with your head kinked over your shoulder to hold the phone, which is even more stupid and dangerous.
Like I said, some people can drive smashed off their asses on 8 different kinds of pixie dust and a liter of goldschlager and get by just fine. Does not mean everyone can, does not mean a majority of people can, does not mean that it's a good idea for you even if you can do it.
And saying "Pshh it's easy, I do it all the time, fuckin' cavemen yadda yadda" does not at all disprove any peer reviewed study that yields findings to the contrary.
