I will admit to driving with an installed hands free device. I know studies have shown that it makes me less safe on the road, but I spend a lot of time on the road and, out of necessity, my car becomes a virtual office. I don't do anything which requires me to use the phone itself. I rarely make calls, but will take them when somebody calls me.
It's interesting that this study calls out texting as being more dangerous. It's amazing what people will do behind the wheel. The most egregious example I've ever seen was a woman driving her SUV in the lane next to me on a very crowded 60mph highway. She was obviously driving with her knees because she had a bowl of cereal, WITH MILK, in her left hand and a spoon in her right hand. I know the cereal had milk in it because it was dribbling down her chin.
