New studies by Dave Strayer of the University of Utah has shown that hands free cellphone usage makes the driver as impaired as 'legally drunk' . Study shows that the drivers are four times more risky for a crash while using a cellphone. There seems to be a strong push from National Safety Council now to get the states ban the usage of cellphones completely (including the handsfree / bluetooth) while driving.
Would be interesting to see how the other cell phone talkers, texters, bloggers and twitterers of the world (I am guilty too) react to this.
