I use mine all the time. I have even spoken to the Police while driving down the motorway to report debris in the road and a car swerving between all 3 lanes being driven by an old lady that looked unwell.
It is no more dangerous than talking to a passenger. In fact you could argue it is safer than talking to a passenger as you are not tempted to look at the person which many people seam to do.
You might be able to explain why it is not illegal to use a taxi radio while driving? They have a cable on them that get wrapped around everything while you are driving.
I do agree though that holding a hand held mobile phone while driving is dangerous. Seeing as you can buy a full bluetooth car kit like mine for only a little more than the fine I can't understand why people do it.
