So drivers shouldn't carry on a conversation with their passenger(s)?
It's the same as hands free imho.

Some drivers, yes. There are plenty of people who are not capable of driving safely even while having a conversation with their passenger. Eating food while driving is just as unsafe but rarely is that subject ever mentioned.

My point was there are studies that show that talking on your phone hands-free is no less distracting than holding the physical phone while talking. Pay attention to driving - not your phone, food, music, or even your passenger.

This is very true and I see it daily. Women and men so wrapped up in their conversation while driving that they are oblivious to the other cars on the road. These same people will drive 20 on a 40 mph zone, blocking an entire lane of traffic behind them. Or they abruptly switch lanes in front of you without even checking out the traffic. I almost got side swipes a couple times by these MF!
