Hands free is not going to fix the issue at hand. I am a woman that drives a manual car and can talk on the phone all at the same time. It is the simple fact that too many american's are careless! There is also the fact that soooooooooooo many people can't mulit-task. So if someone is talking on the phone (even if it is speaker phone)they won't be able to do a different task.
i.e. They can concentrate on driving OR talking to someone thru a cell phone.
I say if someone gets into a wreck while on the cell phone, they should be punished as if a drunk driver would be. The drivers judgement is impaired with a cell phone almost (if not the same amount in some cases) as when a driver is drunk!
