So, it seems like everyone here is sufficiently skilled to drive and talk,
so they claim anyway.
Take a look at this NTSB report, download the pdf file and read the whole
thing paying attention to the photos and the cell phone record.

After reading the report, tell me again why there should be no regulation
of talking/texting while driving.

I remember this story from a while back.
Talking on her phone did not help obviously, but probably the worst of
it was that she was inexperienced and the Explorer Sport was a short
wheelbase version that was about as unstable as the little short Jeep YJ
things.
Short, tall and boxy so the wind pushes it around. If you are not an
experienced driver and accustomed to the vehicle, it would be easy to
over correct - especailly if one panics.
So, I would say the cell phone is only one contributing element of this
tragic accident and probably not the primary cause.
