I'm a 4x4 driver. I tried leaving a phone on loud speak once on my mums street, to see how distracting it was ....... How the hell people can drive and be on the phone is beyond me. I never use the phone whilst driving if it rings or texts, I just ignore it til later.

You've sort of hit the nail on the head

Pairing your phone with a bluetooth device requires a brain, and using a phone at the wheel whilst driving means you are a 'No brainer'

Easy - you should try it when trying to do a roundabout while smoking a fag and with a can of coke in your hands too... now that takes some wild skills.
