I've read studies which say that hands-free isn't much safer; you are still distracted from the task at hand: watching for other crazy people swerving around talking on THEIR cell phones!

One hand??? You only need a finger to turn those babies....power steering

Turning aint nearly as difficult as steering, half turning around in the seat and searching with one hand to find elmo that was dropped by a now screaming two year old.
