> Using a phone when driving is completely legal, as long as it is hands free.

This is not universally true, and as a matter of policy, it should not be true -- making phone calls while driving is distracting, whether you are holding the phone in your hands or not.

Nice opinion. Passengers are distractions too.

Malarkey about how talking to someone on the phone, vs in person is a different level of distraction is silly, too. As long as your eyes are on the road, as long as it's hands free, it's fine.
