The UK has cracked down on driving with cell phones, but is being criticized for not cracking down on handsfree cell phone use. Earlier we reported that a new study found almost no difference between drivers who used phone without handsfree, and drivers that used phones with handsfree.
Seems like a silly law, but if you live in the UK don't try and protest--just invest in a handsfree device. New York residents have had to live with similar legislation for some time now, and it has received a fair amount of press.
