Pedestrians walk looking at their phones too. It's WILD.
The other day I was on an interstate doing 70 and the woman next to me was totally reading he phone while driving.
Personally, I think all cars should have cell phone jamming devices, not only for their own drivers but also to jam the signals for cars within like a 100 yard radius. They only work when driving and would shut off automatically when there is a collision -- or otherwise be set up to allow 911 calls in an emergency.

A young woman who was on her phone while driving killed my FIL. She'll have to live with that the rest of her life. I hope she feels guilty every single day. It's not worth it. EVER.

Another honest answer:
I would tell myself I was only checking things at stop lights, but inevitably checking something at a stop light would lead to having to do a follow up while driving. So I definitely was on my phone while driving too.
We are now car-less in a bigger city, but I have terrible guilt that I used to do this when I lived in DC and am glad I never hurt anyone. I had an insane, high-stakes job and for some reason it felt mentally justifiable to be checking at stop lights or intersections.
