Okay, to illustrate my point about incidental cellphone use is an effective safety device, here's my set of hypothetical numbers for you, to answer your earlier hypothetical numbers:
A cell phone call raising risk 50% (just borrowing your number for the sake of argument) for 1min, compared to anxious driver speeding raising risk 30% (take a low number here) for each minute of the remaining 19min of the trip. Run your numbers.
This beneficial effect of incidental cell phone use is not at all taken into consideration in any of those tests.
