Agree with you that it's all about being able to handle distractions.

Driving *always* involved handling distractions. Out of hundreds (if not
thousands), what's one more distraction going to do if you can handle them?

Nothing. 

Which is what the accident rate shows. 

What's revealing is that intuition is always wrong. 
a. The sun revolves around the earth. Busted.
b. Gravity is a force. Busted.
c. Cellphones raised the accident rate. Busted.

In this case, everyone (including me!) would intuit that the accident rate
must have skyrocketed when cellphones were introduced.

And yet... they didn't.

For anyone who still claims cellphones raised the accident rate, then just
tell us how much you feel the accident rate was raised.

Do they feel it's ten times as many accidents per mile driven? 
Twenty? Fifty? A hundred times the accidents? What?
