Understandable, when using a hand-held increases accident risk to legal-limit

Can't believe you've bought this line.

I've read the paper.

References?

It found that cell-phone users are three
times (IIRC) more likely to have an accident than non-users.

Is the cause and effect established, or could it be that it's the less able drivers who are more likely to use a phone in the first place?

I understand
there are later studies that show there is no difference between hand-held
and hands-free, but I've not read them.

Again, references?
And is it likely to comment on headsets in bike helmets?
