I would usually tell the person on the other end "Hold on, I'm about to
rear end a truck!" Sometimes I'd yell "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!". Of course I
was exagerating for levity.
I pay attention to my driving, only trying to communicate whatever urgent
message needs to be conveyed (I'm late for my appointment, I'm stuck in
traffic). Anything more involved and I just can't give the conversation
my full attention. I think that's the way it should be.
