Phone conversations required more concentration even with a hands free setup.
You've obviously used a mobile whilst driving, have you used a CB?.....If so which one do you think required the most thought and concentration in the conversation.

To me a phone conversation requires no more concentration than talking to a passenger in the car or listening to the radio. It is rather simple, a call comes in and I press the answer button on the stearing wheel and start talking, my hand never leaves the wheel or my eyes leave the road. My concentration is the road first and the call second. Using the CB radio required more concentration on my part than a phone call. I've been driving for 20+ years and rack up at least 30,000km a year.
