Don't ban them, they are useful but enforce the rules properly.[/size]BB - I too have a hands free in my car and it is definitely a distraction, especially when you have to concentrate on the call. Honey I'll be late from work is very different to an hour long conference call.
Zero Alcohol, like you I will drive on one but ride on none.
My own anecdotal experience with SWMBO, who also has hands free, is the number of time she says Damn I just missed my turnoff while on the phone. IMHO that proves lack of concentration on the job at hand (never managed to win that argument with her though :rolleyes ).
Agree absolutely on the enforcement though. Especially for those who think texting is ok!!!
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
