Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Handsfree is cheap, but ineffective. The greater problem with phoning while driving is not the physical act of holding the handset, but the mental distraction of trying to hold a conversation with a distant party.

I was shocked to discover that Norwegian law merely states that you must'nt be holding the phone in your hand while driving. So if you have your phone on your lap while texting, thats fine.

The irony is, that spotting a handset in a drivers hand is the one thing that has allowed me to aviod nasty collisions on more than one occasion.
