You all are aware that there are a number of hands-free texting apps that
are available now for the most common phone platforms, right?  Some are
free, some are almost free, and others are in the $20 range.  I've toyed
with two of them and they worked pretty well with the BB.  "DriveSafe.ly"
worked the best for me but your mileage may vary.

Peter is right again.  Even these hands-free apps require thought,
concentration and are just as  distracting.

I've had inside sources in at least two states tell me that the primary
reason for the hands-free requirement is to simply ensure that both hands
are available for steering and to quickly take evasive action, if necessary.

I am, not going that route because hands-off use is JUST as distracting as
hands-on use.
