Some studies show more impairment then driving over .08.
I believe the big difference between a person in the car and a cell phone is that your brain when on a phone conversation effectively removes itself from the act of driving. You are talking on the phone as your primary activity. When you are conversing with someone in a car your brain is still in the car driving while having the conversation. When on a cell phone your brain almost goes into its own vitual space. I know their is some literture out there on the differences.

You are COMPLETELY correct. Driving with or without handsfree produces the same proportion of collisions. There is no statistical difference between collisions and either driving hands free, or driving hands on.
