The bans are pretty much all re handheld vs handsfree.

Whether or not you're /holding/ the phone when you get into an argument with your girlfriend whilst driving probably doesn't make a lot of difference.

I'll admit to passing a lot of time in the car on the phone. Random chatty 'hi how are ya lets babble about nothingness' conversations. Ones where I don't have to pay a hell of a lot of attention. Same sorts of conversations as when I need to chat to do a lot of iterations of something boring on the computer.

"I can't have this conversation while driving" is something that needs to get more attention. Which conversations? The ones with number crunching. The important negotiations. The emotional conversations. A friend had his gf try to redefine their relationship while he was driving down the highway and she knew he was. Not Cool.
