Re: Question two. A study done at Harvard found that the use of cell phones while driving increases productivity by 42 billion dollars a year; however, using cell phones while driving also results in the loss of 42 billion dollars a year as the result of death, injury, and property damage. Therefore, using cell phones while driving should not be a concern since it's not "worth it" to change the behavior.

Surely this a great arguement for legislating for hands free sets to be compulsory in cars. You get all the benefits and non of the downs.

That assumes that all of the downside of cell phones comes from actually holding the phone, rather than merely being distracted.
I can assure you this is not the case.
