Sol, I'm not doubting it's a distraction. But people multi task while driving which they shouldn't be doing in the first place. So, now they can talk via blue tooth keeping their hands free but they'll find other uses for their hands. Eat their yogurt, put on their makeup, and thumb thru Redbook. If it wasn't for bluetooth they'd just talk on the cell, eat their yogurt, put on their makeup and only pick up the magazine when they're done with one of the other activities.

How about just drive? There are already hands free devices for cell usage.

Does blue tooth allow you to text message?
