Jun 16 at 17:55 comment added Eugene @quarague tldr passengers can pause the conversation when they see the road getting dangerous and you can tune out the radio at those moments, but you can't if it's a remote conversation. I wasn't implying it's safe to drive like that, but sometimes it's unavoidable and I was curious about the legal implications.

Jun 15 at 16:56 comment added Ryan_L @quarague wouldn't that be true of conversation with passengers in the car as well? Or even just listening to the radio?
Jun 15 at 9:40 comment added quarague Note that the arguments against driving while talking on the phone are at best partially migitated by using a head set. Your brain can't focus both on traffic and on your phone conference at the same time, regardless of what your hand are doing.
