Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because it reduces the attention needed for driving.
Yes. A cell phone takes away the attention you need for driving, whether the call is short or long and even if you use a hands-free device, because the conversation occupies your mind. If you also pick it up, like the driver in the image who is looking at the screen, you also take your eyes off the road and one hand off the wheel.
