Statistically, using your cell-phone while driving is a risk factor - using
a headset doesn't change that.

So, statistically speaking, driving with one hand versus two would be
equally safe?

That makes no sense at all. Driving with a cup of coffee in one hand,
a cigarette in the other, putting on make-up, while yelling at the kids
in the back seat has GOTTA be safer than doing all that with a cellphone
in the other hand.

You need to try using a hands free device while driving, that has got to
be worse than just using the cell phone! Someone calls or you've got to make
a call, you've got to put the @#$%! thing on, seems to be on the same order
of trying to pick up several things from the floor of the back seat, or
worse.
Many studies have shown that cell phones are FAR from the worst
distractions while on the road, though they certainly tick people off when
they see someone driving carelessly while using one.
As for only using one hand, how many hams ALREADY drive that way while
on the radio and yet have no problem talking, moving frequency or adjusting
something on the radio??

That'll depend what the other hand is doing. Reminds me of the joke (okay,
"everyone" knows the guys who really said this, but let's assume it's a
joke....):
Man has girlfriend in lap while driving at high speed on country highway.
Gets pulled over by angry highway patrolman who says "Shouldn't you be using
both hands?!". Hero replies "Well I would but I need one to drive."

You changed the conditions by adding in all the other factors. Anyway, go
search out the stat's, they're available somewhere. Studies in USA, Europe
and Australia all agree. I guess we're all just crappy drivers.

Ken

Well, that would be a cel phone I would do without. My Motorola
Startac required no intervention at all to receive a call. The phone
was mounted on the dash and hooked to a Motorola hands-free amplifier
and visor mounted microphone. When someone called, the phone would
answer automatically on the second ring. All I had to do was say,
"Hello." Calling took more intervention, but with the new phones that
accept voice commands, you never have to touch the phone.
