But sadly, distraction is in the mind, not in the hands. Hand's free is a whitewash. It does little to reduce distraction.
You are right about legislation not stopping this, no more than it stops gambling, drinking or drugs. People are addicted to talking. (Though not to listening it seems

The far side of this situation I suspect will be that no one drives. Rather they will get in their car, punch in where they want to go and a networked gps/roadway system will move their car to its destination.
