Seems like if you're going to allow earieces and other "hands free" devices you're sort of taking the teeth of the thing, aren't you?

I mean - I've been distracted by cell phone use in my car, but it usually has more to do with my paying attention tot he conversation and not the road than where one of my hands is. Most of us can drive in reasonably conditions with one hand or with a phone cradled between ear and shoulder by the time we're 17 - maybe we SHOULDN'T, but we can. But having phone conversations while driving is, it seems to me, either bad and distracting or not much of a threat. Why defang the thing this way?

Gee. I thought that we already had a law that allowed cell phones in moving vehicles only with the use of hands-free devices. What the heck?

I don't see the problem with using ear buds, however. You might as well ban talking to a person in the car with you. I know it looks odd, someone apparently talking to NO ONE, but that's technology for you...

I see valid points for a ban of cell phone use altogether (by a driver in a moving vehicle) but permitting only hands-free operation is a reasonable compromise and it eliminates at least one hazard of cell phone use: holding the phone receiver while attempting to navigate traffic.

Studies have proven that the distraction with cell phones in cars comes from the conversation itself, not the manner in which it's conducted.
Hands-free does nothing to solve the problem.

Cell Phones far down the list of distractions:

Hands on and hands free have same rate of distraction:

JayCee:
Thanks for the links. The reports you cite make some good points but they stop short of saying that hands-free operation "does nothing to solve the problem."
They simply say that mental distractions pose a bigger hazard.
Common sense says that fixing your eyes on the road with zero distractions is the safest option.
But it also says that fixing your eyes on the road with both hands on the wheel is at least less hazardous.

The above study I cited states,"...there were no differences between hands-free and hand-held cell phone groups."
Which part of that did you not understand? There is no difference, therefore hands-free does nothing to solve the problem.
Man, you journalist types sure know how to "dance around" to maintain your position in the face of the facts.

Well, Jaycee, I certainly can hear YOU now. Here are quotes from the articles you cite:

"University of Kansas psychology professor Paul Atchley, has also studied hands free technology. 'Hands free devices are PROBABLY ONLY SAFER (caps mine) under very limited circumstances. My own work uses hands-free devices, and we see reductions in attention in 20 year-old drivers that reduces their attention to the level we might see in an 85 year-old driver,' he says. ...

"Donald Redelmeier and Robert Tibshirani of the University of Toronto, authors of a frequently cited 1997 New England Journal of Medicine paper on cell phone distraction, reported that hands-free phones offered no LARGE (caps mine again) safety advantage over hand-held phones. They postulated that the main factor in a collision might be a driver's limitations in attention rather than his or her dexterity. They also thought that hands-free phones might provide drivers with a false sense of security that might cause them to expose themselves to greater risk than if they had a hand-held phone."

Part of being a journalist is paying attention to detail and nuance. And to qualified conclusions.

That said, I don't disagree with you; the best option is no cell phone use at all while driving. But I still believe that a hands-free-only law would at least be helpful.

I am familiar with much of this resarch, and I believe what you are calling nuance and detail, forming qualified conclusions are indeed attentive, yet incorrect. Also, they are not quotes from the articles (I have them in the other window) - but quotes from Paul summarizing them, a key difference.

"Probably only safer in limited circumstances" is a scientists perpetual skepticism leaking out - given the research, he's referring to a trace amount of occasions such as a time when a hands-held driver drops the phone under the brake pedal, or something odd. (I'll elaborate later).

Also, Redelmeier and Tibshirani found no statistically significant differences between hands-free and hands-held usage. Paul said no "large" differences to avoid being technocratic. Here, "not large" means "unreliable or negligible".

The facts are, research since 1969 (that I know of) has shown an important reduction in driving performance while talking on a phone, and dozens of real-world and simulator studies worldwide since at least 1997 have shown just as large a reduction in performance with hands-held phones.

Questions of practicality and enforcement may be up in the air - but the debate over whether or not it increases accident risk should be considered over and done.

Also, as for the issue that talking to passengers "should be banned then" -

Research also shows that conversations with in-car passengers actually are different, qualitatively.

When talking to a passenger, the conversation can be regulated to suit traffic, since all speakers can see road hazards, dense traffic, etc. - and know to 'shut up' awhile. (They might even point out a hazard, and provide a second/third set of eyes, for that matter). But someone on a cell phone is removed from the situation, and keeps talking as 'aggressively', regardless of the traffic.

Talk-radio? Books on tape? Not distracting. Ever notice when you are driving, that you missed the last chunk of what was said on the radio? Missed a score you were waiting for when listening to a game? Your mind attends to the road when it needs to, and 'filters' out the radio.

For 'fun' - try to pay attention to what the road conditions are the next time that happens to you. I'll bet you 'snap back' to the radio either (a) when you get back to sparse traffic or a straight highway (e.g., after a merge), or (b) when a loud ad, your name, or a 'strange' topic comes on the radio.
