[Closed] Should hands free phones be banned from drivers

I would say a child can be orders of magnitude more distracting than a phone call - you can hang up a phone call or tell the person at the other end to give you a minute but screaming babies or tantrumming toddlers won't stop; a child being sick will keep on being sick and are too young to understand the logic of "Mummy/Daddy is busy at the minute - can you just be quiet please or we might have a crash".

This. A new bypass around the east of Chippenham had the speed limit reduced from 60 to 50, and roundabouts introduced at three junctions, after two accidents, one fatal. Neither had anything to do with speed, or the junctions, but pure inattention by drivers. The fatal one involved a mother, distracted by her kids in the back, turning round to tell them off, and drifting across the road into the path of an oncoming truck. Neither was doing more than 30mph, but she was killed.
The other involved a driver pulling out into the path of a car overtaking a car that flashed her to say she could pull out.
Both clear examples of driver inattention resulting in severe consequences.
If I have a passenger, I hardly ever chat to them, as I find it distracting, and any conversation tends to die out after a while anyway. The stereo isn't too distracting, because once it's set on radio, it stays on one channel, or gets switched to pod or USB stick, and the volume control is a large knob I can feel and turn without taking my eyes off the road.
The biggest problem is the heater and climate controls in my Skoda, because they're flush square buttons in a row, with nothing to distinguish any of them, and they're set down below the radio, which makes them very difficult to use safely, and are a major distraction.
My old Puma had much better controls, large rotary switches above the radio that you could feel easily, and turn with the minimum of distraction.
Why can't all cars have their controls laid out like that, so much safer to use on the move.

To those opposed to banning handsfree phones:

Since they've been shown to be no different in terms of distraction than non-handsfree phones, are you thus in favour of legalising all phone use whilst driving?

If not, and if we momentarily set aside the practicalities of enforcement, then for what reason?
