I don't see how you can disagree with that.

Because that is not what you said. You said that talking on a cell phone does not necessarily distract you from the road. Even changing your statement does not invalidate the argument that has been supported by numerous studies: people talking on cell phones are not paying attention to the road.
You are attempting to compare a momentary distraction with an ongoing one and trying to hold the former up as being more dangerous than the latter. I'm sure you can understand why that is backwards.
