Trying to be a smart arse just makes you look a jerk.  There are many,
many driving situations where you can't just pull over to the side of
the road.

A classic situation is when you've just missed a turn, where the phone says
that you missed the turn and it's recalculating for you so you can easily
recover without even needing to look back to see how you just missed it.

There is a huge safety advantage in recovering from missed turns alone, not
to mention the safety advantage of NOT missing the upcoming turn as the
phone will often audibly warn you that a turn is coming up and it will even
audibly advise which specific lanes you can use to make that upcoming turn.

The safety advantages of phones in use while driving are tremendous.
