Why is okay to talk on your phone if you don't hold it?

For the exact example he and I pointed out. If the driver is distracted my merely taking part in a conversation, WTF difference does it make if the conversation takes place with a person on a phone or sitting next to them?

If you can;t hold a conversation AND drive at the same time, you ought not be driving...period.

Now...I'd like a law that states I can take a baseball bat to the next frickhead driving and looking down in their lap typing shite on their phone. But simply holding a phone against one's head and having a conversation is no more distracting than taking a sip from a drink.

shite...I was driving yesterday and some guy had a rat dag sitting in his damn lap walking all over him while he was a driving. I was talking to my wife telling her about it. Which of us do you think posed a greater threat to the drivers around us?
