So does that mean they are going to ban road-side billboard advertising,
and talk radio in cars? Both of which are a large distraction to drivers...

Talking and answering questions seems to significantly impact the brain
centres used for driving

(Talking to another adult in the car is not as bad as usually they shut
up or scream something useful if conditions are difficult or they're
about to die)
Not sure if anyone's done fMRI's on billboard adverts yet.
Really they should be banning all mobile phone conversations by the
driver whilst driving.
Anyone know what happens if you're using the Tom-Tom iPhone software and
the phone rings? I'm guessing you get lost :)
Have fun,
