It makes sense that women talk on the phone while driving more than men do considering they talk three times as much as men do. I can't speak for all women, but my girlfriend tells me that she talks on the phone while driving so she doesn't get bored.
Women talk more than men only in certain circumstances. http://www.pbs.org/speak/speech/prejudice/women/
"Despite the widespread belief that women talk more than men, most of the available evidence suggests just the opposite. When women and men are together, it is the men who talk most. Two Canadian researchers, Deborah James and Janice Drakich, reviewed sixty-three studies which examined the amount of talk used by American women and men in different contexts. Women talked more than men in only two studies."
