I will obey the laws against using hand-held cell phones in cars when that law is also extended to hands-free phones.

It has been shown in any number of motor vehicle safety studies that there is no difference in driver attentiveness with the different types of phones. It's the distraction of the phone conversation that is the problem, not the use of only one hand on the steering wheel!

not the use of only one hand on the steering wheel!

How do you signal with one hand on the wheel and the other holding a cellphone? Don't answer that!

I would like to see those studies, with special attention on the methodology of those studies. I want to see comparisons made to radio use, having small children in the vehicle, other passengers, smoking in cars, Stereos in excess of 100db, eating in cars, and other in-car distractions.
