I hate the BS "studies" that posit that driving with hands-free is just as distracting as with the phone in your hand so there's no benefit to hands-free. True, the fact is that both are distracting and that it's safer not to be on the phone at all but the argument that the "studies" put forth ticks me off because it cannot be said that driving with one hand and a phone glued to one side of your face is not more dangerous than having both hands available for steering and your head able to rotate around to see.

Not only does driving take attention but it is a two handed task.
