That's all anecdotal. If there's a study comparing the distraction of cell phones (hands free) vs. conversation with a passenger, I haven't heard of it. Yes, a passenger may alert a driver to a hazard. On the other hand, drivers frequently turn to look at their passengers while conversing. I'm not sure where the balance would be. But I certainly don't think it's a "no brainer."
