Well, a new University of Utah study may have great impact on how we all commute. Among other things, the study showed that:

Hands-free cell phones are no less dangerous while driving than hand-held cell phones because the conversation itself is the major distraction.

So if requiring hands free devices is no safer than not because the real culprit is the fact that most people just can’t plain talk and drive at the same time (something I have long suspected!) it looks like the government is facing a bit of a dilemma. The way I see it there are only two viable options. Mandate that everyone drive a motorcycle (without a passenger of course), or make it illegal to talk while driving.

Better yet, we could require an IQ test in addition to a driver test and save all the trouble…
