Default Cellphone, messages

Today, I discovered this design flaw or oversight: When my phone is connected and it receives a message, I get an audio signal, and an indication on the screen that:
a. A message was received from ... Me (!!!!), I guess it means that the system received a message from my phone (da...); it should indicate the original sender that is probably available from the phone;
b. It shows me the options to have the message read to me (nice), or ignore it. BUT I CAN ONLY SELECT ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS USING THE JOYSTICK, and that is dangerous while driving. Why can't I respond with a voice command: "read" or "ignore" ?? I tried that and nothing.
In general, any option on the screen should be available as a voice command.

If you have an iPhone, you can use the Siri mobile assistant feature. Hold the off-hook button for a few seconds until you hear the beep. Then you can say, "respond to text" and say your message.
