Another Cellphone Study

Reply from: Scott in SoCal

KTLA reports that "a California researcher" has concluded that drivers
who use hands-free cellular phones are more likely to survive a crash
than drivers who hold their cell phones up to their ears. The study
concluded that 300 fewer people would die in car crashes if they used
hands-free devices.

That's pretty much a verbatim quote of the report. I have the same
questions that you do. :)

How about just keeping both hands on the steering wheel except when
shifting or toggling a control switch?

It sounds like this person stole someone's high-school science project.

Sounds more like another $1M-price-tag pork research project.

Pfft. Just like you're concerned about the innocents that get nailed
with the marbles you throw out your window?
