Bluetooth connectivity compatibility was a problem when I was fitting hands free kits back in the mid 00s, "compatible" handsets still didn't connect properly, glad to see nothing has changed

Er.... no. It's better than the abysmal practice of hand-held calls but it certainly does NOT help anyone concentrate on their driving.

How? It encourages phone use which distracts from driving. Much better to not connect the phone and turn it off/keep it out of the way and not use it at all when driving. If you need to use the phone when driving it is better to find a suitable place to stop and then use the phone when safely parked.

mobilejunkie? Ironic! Yes, as you both say, talking hands free on a phone can still be distracting. And it would be better if we didn't have phones switched on whilst driving. But that doesn't happen, does it? Without BT, the phone rings, people go to grab it to see who is calling, etc. With BT, it comes up on a screen that can be glanced at, and can be ignored - that's safer. Plenty of cars allow you to answer or reject calls without even taking your hands off the wheel.

All that is irrelevant to what you said. Using a bluetooth does not "help.. concentrate on your driving". Quite the opposite. You need to say something like "it's better than using the phone without", but as a statement it's plainly wrong.
