Landline *during* the drive.  Long extension cord.  Really yanks the
steering wheel around when you reach the end.    (This probably
wouldn't become any more operationally relevant
if I noted that analog land lines avoid the need for IPv6 VOIP header
overhead....)

Some fraction of phone calls made immediately before driving are
conversations about
"Please get here right away" or "sorry, I'm N minutes late but I'm
leaving now",
which don't lead to safe driving
