This study is flawed. Why? Because it didn't make an effort to measuring the risks of talking to a passenger in the car which is probably a more prevalent behavior than talking on a cellphone, and seeming more dangerous. The reason is that you tend to look at the person you're talking to which would take the driver's eye off the road more than it would if he were alone just talking on his or her cellphone.
So if you're thinking that the government should legislate against drivers talking on their cell, then perhaps they should also prohibit talking to the person in the seat next to you. Yeah. Right
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
