I agree.

I just read of a new study that discovered that hands free cell phones are about as dangerous when driving as a hand held phone.

In fact, the study found that any distraction from driving, including things like a radio or other gadgets/driving aids a can be dangerous.
Bottom line, you have to commit 100% to driving and not rely on gadgets. You are the driver, not a passenger.

BTW, as far as blind spots, many do not know how to adjust their drivers side mirror properly. This is a known problem.

I recently heard the same thing.
