Question:
Using a hands-free phone is likely to ________.
A
Divert your attention.
explanation
Talking to someone while you're driving can distract you and, unlike someone in the car with you, the person on the other end of a mobile phone is unable to see the traffic situations you're dealing with. They won't stop speaking to you even if you're approaching a hazardous situation. You need to concentrate on your driving all of the time, especially when dealing with a hazard.

What is a “hand-free device?”
A hands-free device can be an in-car dashboard system, a Bluetooth earpiece, or a speakerphone on your phone. Hands-free gadgets are still risky because they are distracting. Distractions are anything that take the eyes, hands, or mind away from the task at hand.
Hands-free devices' unknown risks
Even when a driver's eyes are on the road, they miss 50% of what is around them because the brain's ability to process moving images declines by up to 1/3 while listening to or talking on the phone. Talking on a hands-free device is not the same as talking with a passenger in the car because passengers are also paying attention to the road and will alert drivers to potential hazards. Therefore, talking on a cell phone while driving is riskier than chatting with a passenger. The use of a hands-free phone while driving poses serious risks, including the possibility of death, property damage, and physical injury to the driver, their passengers, and other drivers.
