Using hands-free mobile phones


Nowadays, all the newest cars include a hands-free mobile phone because a lot of people use the mobile phone while driving. On these issue there are some arguments for, and some against. 

On the one hand, if the drivers have a hands-free, they can speak with more safety than if they don't have it, because they can use all their concentration in order to drive and because of it is easier to speak with someone if you don't have to take the mobile phone. And normally people who have it, are people who have to use the car for their work, or people who have to drive long distances, and if they receive an important call they can't stop and answer it.

On the other hand, it's true that using the mobile phone in the car, always make some distraction and it can cause an accident.  It induces to bring the mobile phone on while the driver is driving. And it can cause some distraction to watch it.

Despite the studies showing that you are still distracted and its still unsafe there are advantages to hands free. 
1. Two hands on the wheel gives much better control over the steering in the case of an emergency. With a manual transmission you may find people holding the wheel with a knee while shifting with their free hand. Obviously unsafe. 
2. Eyes on the road. Typically hands free devices let you answer and hang up a call without every looking down at a phone or trying to find it if its dropped on the floor or between seats.
