Which statement about talking on a cell phone while driving is true?

Talking on a cell phone while driving divides your attention between the conversation and the road, which makes it harder to notice hazards and react quickly. Because driving relies on quick perception and timely decisions, engaging in a phone call can slow you down or lead to mistakes, so it will not help you reach your destination faster. The other statements imply benefits or immunity to distraction, which aren’t true—phone conversations don’t speed you up, and you aren’t immune to distractions even if you’re using a hands-free device.
