I can think of lots of possible reasons, some of which make me wonder
how we ever managed without cell phones. Two obvious examples are
medical emergencies (pregnant wife etc) and arranging a rendezvous
somewhere (e.g airport). Things that are hard to predict but sometimes
very important.

But I completely agree that people should pull over or at least use a
hands-free kit.
