Often, it's not the act of conversing, whether with hands free phone or to your fellow travelers, which is dangerous, it's the content of the conversation that decreases concentration and increases risk. If you answer your cell phone (hands free) and someone asks you when you will be home, no problemo. But, if you answer and someone tells you your house is ablaze and your family is trapped inside ... now that kinda takes your mind of driving.
But, in general, I agree that there are limits to what the law can, or should do. Common sense has to enter into the equation. But stricter laws, and enforcement, on texting are a must. Hundreds are dying on the roads ... thousands mourn them .... and many are left to handle the rest of their lives with shattered bodies.
