If it's illegil to use a cell phone without a hands free device, then when will they make it illegil to prop your chin on a hand? Or maybe take a drink? Or scratch your nose?

Talking on a cell phone with a hands free device is just as distracting IMHO. After all, if I wear a bluetooth headset and talk on the phone, then I prop my head up with my hand, then it's the same as if I had the phone in my hand!

I think the law is stupid, and the study about it being just as dangerous as driving drunk? BS!!! You can hang up the phone, you can't stop being drunk! When you are drunk, you have slower reflexes, your judgement is impaired, and your senses are dulled. When you talk on a phone, you're distracted. I see more people nearly causing wrecks while searching the front seat for something, than distracted by a cell phone, and I commute an hour each way, five days a week.

People cause wrecks because they don't pay attention to driving. Not because of a cell phone, a soda, or a itchy knee. Cell phone use is just the latest rage in "Look how responsible I'll be for you!" in legislation.
