Just try the experiment I posted above. *Then* tell me talking on the phones don't give you tunnel vision.

I admit that, like you, I am one of the 80% of drivers who considers myself an above average driver. But I've done that experiment, I *can* see with my whole eyes when I'm not talking on the phone, and I *don't* talk while driving any more.

And if you consider "someone putting brake lights on in front of you" to be an exceptionally high risk situation, I've got nothing to add.
