I think it is too dangerous to use your hand to hold your phone while driving; I think maybe the hands-free sets are ok---I mean, what is really the difference between that and talking to a passenger? I guess as long as you are not trying to do serious business on the phone, where you are more focused on the call, then maybe it is okay. But I have stipulations! Hands free only! The phone call should be as short as possible! Use only when really needed. A call home, such as, "Honey, do I need to pick up the kids' prescriptions, or did you get them?" --something like that might be okay. I don't think people should make a habit of phoning while driving; they should make it a habit to DRIVE instead, LOL! People who just LOVE to talk on their phones, for the sake of talking, do NOT need to drive and talk, hands-free or not, I think! But to make a quick call, or receive a quick call, hands-free, should be allowed under certain circumstances. I think if you are a safe driver, you will be conscientious of when is a good time to be talking while driving, whether on a hands free set, or to a passenger. You can't keep people from talking, after all!

Everybody, be safe out there!
