I guess I look at that law like this: It's bolted to the vehicle, it's NOW part of the vehicles system. Like a regular AM/FM Cassette / 8-Track back in the day. Along with that system, included was the speakers and antenna. So as the vehicle went - the equipment was considered an accessory and that made the difference between hands free - versus using the accessories - that being - bolted to the car. "Bolted" is the term you use with the police, even though it's stuck with Velcro or jammed into the seats or stuck on the roof with the pizza delivery and kids play magnets . (Speaker, Radio and the Antenna - not necessarily in that order)

It (the radio) isn't stuck in your ear with your hands - and you are able to restore if not maintain control of the vehicle without having to divert your attention to-from-by-with your significant others issues on the other end. Hence the loose item (phone) requires coordination and skill set that may be (does and often will be) hindering or blocking your ability to correct or respond to the vehicles' needs versus a radio, attached as an accessory as part of the vehicle - as they (radio) are, it needs to operate independently of you in a fashion that does not interfere with vehicles main modes and methods of operation. Cell phones divert from that - meaning that it is a free floating item keeping you from your main duties of driving and maintaining control of the vehicle. You can drop a microphone, your antenna may even be seen leaving your vehicle in your rear view mirror - but you are not directly impacted by the loss of said items - your phone is your personal attachment to others - it's not attached to the vehicle to keep it stable, instead it keeps you from fully using your abilities to get a handle on things as they happen so you can correct them - reaction.

There is a separate issue of Duplex, versus Simplex, but it goes without saying the Duplex mode is, and requires, you to be more distracted due to the effort you need to maintain attention to the conversation which can cause distraction even when it's claimed to be hands free. Simplex is a broadcast, wait for response 10-9 if necessary and move forward if no one responds.

[QUOTE="Handy Andy, post: 627183, member: 52309"] I guess I look at that law like this: It's bolted to the vehicle, it's NOW part of the vehicles system. Like a regular AM/FM Cassette / 8-Track back in the day. Along with that system, included was the speakers and antenna. So as the vehicle went - the equipment was considered an accessory and that made the difference between hands free - versus using the accessories - that being - bolted to the car.
