If there's a law, it should be a blanket THOU SHALT NOT DO ANYTHING BUT DRIVE THE DAMN CAR.
/I'm as guilty as anyone -- I never text because I just don't text, but I have talked on the phone hands-free while driving, and subsequently missed a turn, or had to do a sudden stop. Now I just let the phone ring, and when I can pull over I'll check and see if I have to call back.
Hands free is not mind-free
