I know you are all expert drivers, but, all it takes is a couple of seconds and your lives could change forever. Taking your eyes off the road for 5 seconds while travelling 55MPH is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded. It is just not cell phone usage, it's the coffee on the way to work a quick look ay your Nav screen to check traffic, that all adds up to significant tome periods that you are not paying attention to what you are doing. I just hope that no one of you experts guiding your 5000+ lb missles never hurt anyone.
Well part of my point of hand held phones being a bigger distraction. To answer one needs to locate the phone, pick it up, answer the call then place phone to ear. Now most right handed people hold with left hand. Now they are partly blind on their left side.
As to taking eyes off road that is required from time to time, check speed, check mirrors, check gauges.
Now current hands free, incoming call left thumb taps a button on the steering wheel. To end tap the same button.
To place call, simply tap button and state who you are calling and which phone!
