Its amazing how much focus people looses when they are on the phone.
I walk and bike a lot, and pretty much everytime I had to slam the brakes/jump out of the way, it was because a driver was on the phone, not staying focused on whats around him/her.
Even the small things like when they forget to stop/slow down because I'm about to cross the road.
