I seem to remember some sort of crude Top Gear or 5th Gear nonsense where they set out to emulate this test, adding in sleep deprivation as well. What surprises me is the lack of research into the impact that hands-free kits have on driver awareness. I think a great deal of public perception is that it is the physical act of holding / balancing the phone that contributes to bad driving. I'll be interested to see if this gets followed up.
