But to me that isn't the issue, the difference between talking on the
phone whilst driving requires no more or less concentration that talking
to a passenger. What is a problem is that the phone requires you to
remove a hand from the driving process, hence hands free. If the actual
process of talking on the phone was the dangerous aspect then why would
hands free make that any safer?
