Well, it turns out you're just as likely to crash your car with the hands-free as without it. (In the event, Bloomberg will tell you, call 911, NOT 311). That's the conclusion of a fresh study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Why's that? Because "hands-free" doesn't mean you don't use your hands. Unless you're savvy enough to be using some kind of voice-activated dialing, you're probably still distracted by having to punch in all the digits.
Could it be that all those hands-free laws states and cities have been passing are for naught?
