Default Re: Study: 4 Times More Likely to Crash With Phone

I read a study a while ago that highlighted the problem with cell phones and cars: It's not the one-handed driving that's causing problems, it's the mental distraction of engaging in conversation that removes people's attention from driving.

This is in contradiction to those (corporations?) claiming that hands-free phones make driving and talking safer. I quite agree, talking on the phone is very distracting, no matter what method you use to talk with.
