You can answer your phone in one tap, which is in accordance with the law. All of your arguments come across as deflecting, making excuses and rationalizing why you need to be or have a right to be on your phone more, when the reality is that you don't.

You don't need to pull over on the freeway to answer your phone, you can use a ear piece with tap to answer. You don't even need to look at your phone to do it.
