I can follow a radio show without having to turn most of my attention to it. Talking on a phone, especially if you are holding it requires greater alround concentration on the phone call.

Using the argument of 'let's ban radio shows' doesn't really help the debate. It's a simplistic argument that the its ok to use a mobile whilst driving use to justify it.

To add to the radio stuff,

Now, modern cars have channel pre-set buttons. All you do is (before you drive) set the pre-sets to what stations you want, and then with one quick press of a button, you can switch stations.
