Using mobile phone when driving

[fazersharp]

I think long term it won't be an issue as the technology is being integrated within the car. E.g. your phone will automatically link with the car and all calls will go to car speaker with the caller's details displayed on the dash.

I have a 16 plate car nothing special and very cheep and that has what you describe, the only time I have called anyone was when I sat in the dealers forcourt and tested it.
I have had a few calls come through it to me and find it strangely distracting when compared to talking to someone next to me in the car.

I think what happens is when I am talking to a person in the car and there is a particularly tricky junction or situation I shut up and concentrate and the person next to me can see the reason for my silence but I feel I have to keep talking when its to the person on the phone.
