I'm guilty of using a cellphone while driving, although I've done my best to refrain from doing so.
The hands-free devices don't work. If anything, they exacerbate the problem. I find that I'm fumbled with the headset more than I have with just the phone.
Radio is distracting, but not to the extent cellphones are. The same applies to having a conversation with a passenger. As long as I have my hands available, I'm fine. Ideally, you should be doing nothing while driving. Your complete and total attention should be on the road while driving.
The real problem is our time-driven society. We want to accomplish so many things at once.
Edit: 200 posts in 4 years... sad.
