Re: Study: 4 Times More Likely to Crash With Phone
Actually, gents and ladies, ponder this:
My boss, who is a very smart man, IQ over 200, thinks at least for HIM, the distraction comes from the "multitasking effort" of driving and HOLDING the PHONE *plus* the conversation.
He has done it both ways, with a "hands free" option and also holding the phone, and he thinks that when he is "just talking and driving" that his driving is better than if he is "holding and talking and driving."
I tend to agree with him. Hands free is MUCH less of a distraction to me than trying to hold the phone and talk and drive.
