Fine with me. The one time I did it I could actually FEEL my peripheral 
perception closing down.  It's fortunate that I rarely need to use the 
phone in the car, and when I do I pull over and stop.

I never look at my passenger and it drives me nuts when I see the driver 
looking at the passenger in movies.  Like seeing an open refrigerator 
door.  I don't even like talking while driving -- I've missed far too 
many turnoffs when I was chatting.  Our internal autopilot works 
entirely too well.
