I have an old car with no advanced technology whatsoever. Could this be avoided by turning off my phone while driving, or can they still acquire data?

Depends on what kind of data collection you want to avoid
Good question. I'd mostly like to avoid entities like my car insurance provider from collecting information on my driving, things like that.
Then I think a degoogled ROM is more than enough
I would get a faraday bag or a phone with a physically removable battery if you want to be 100% sure. Even then, it'll depend on how many traffic cams there are. It can be really difficult to not get tracked anymore.
