携帯を使いながら運転するって英語でなんて言うの？

Drive and use a phone

Driving while on a phone

Driving and texting
「携帯を使いながら運転」なら1つ目の"Drive and use a phone"で十分です。
2つ目を使って文章の例を作ってみますね。
"My friend crashed my car driving while on a phone."（友達が私の車を電話しながら運転して事故った）
3番目の"texting（または単にtext）"はショートメールなど携帯のメッセージング機能を使ったやり取りです。LINEなどを使ったやり取りも同じ言い方ができます。馴染みがないと戸惑ってしまう表現かと思うので、この機会に参考にしておいてください。
Don't drive and text. It's a bad idea.

Driving and texting caused an accident

Using your phone while driving contributed to the crash
Using your phone while driving is never recommended. In fact, it's illegal. Since you were distracted from driving while using a phone, an accident occurred.
運転中に携帯を使うことをは決して望ましいことではありません。実際に、違法となっています。携帯を使って運転から気をとられたために、事故が起こったのです。

Like many accidents this particular one was caused as a result of the driver being on his phone and not focussing on the road.
To express that an accident happened as a result of someone being on their phone you may say that the accident was caused as a result of the driver texting while driving. Texting while driving is a well-known expression in English and is similar to that of drinking while driving . Both are in many countries considered a criminal offense.
電話を使っていたために起こった事故のことを説明する場合は：
The accident was caused as a result of the driver texting while driving.
（その事故は、運転中に携帯メールを打っていて、起こりました。）
と言うことができます。
Texting while driving（運転しながら携帯メールを打つこと）は、よく知られている表現で、 drinking while driving（飲酒運転）とよく似ています。 どちらも、多くの国で犯罪とみなされます。
