This is the most funniest thing caused by the law. Look at this approved, official hands-free device. Does it look like "hands-free" to you? :) http://www.pulju.net/shop/product_details.php?p=416 Of course those these kind of devices are mostly used by taxi drivers and other "professionals". Obviously it isn't more safe than holding the actual phone in your hand. With that device, you have an additional wire there too. I would recommend this stylish "hands-free" device: http://www.firebox.com/?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=1044 “Finnish law requires you to use a hands-free device”

It seems to me there is something about the concentration required to be on a phone that's more distracting than talking with fellow passengers.

What's that ? Bare tits just before dangerous crossroad with Slogan *Say NO to Hands free !* ? “With distracting and potentially dangerous roadside billboards of course.”
