Does the Risk Increase if Distractions are combined?

Why is Cell Phone use is an Unacceptable Risk? It forces a person to take their eyes off the road while trying to dial or answer the phone.

A person talking to you remotely will not know when you encounter a traffic situation that requires your full attention.

Why is Texting even More Risky? It requires more attention to read small print. Typing words require great focus and more attention to formulate thoughts to text. The time that it takes your mind and eyes away from driving is far greater than most other distractions.
