Dont be ridiculous. Do you refuse to speak to passengers whilst driving too?
here's something for you to read Wikipedia link hands free v passenger conversation
And if you don't care for wikipedia then do a search for 'hands free mobile phones and drink driving' It is scientifically accepted using a hands free mobile is as dangerous as drink driving
And don't be too sure how legal using hands free kits are - if you are involved in an accident and you were using one, the CPS will entertain 'due care and attention'. take a look at the following news article LINK

Utter bullhonky, stop believing eveything you read on the internet. I've never once looked at my phone whilst conducting a hands-free conversation, but its virtually impossible to have a chat with a passenget sat next to you in a car without occasional eye contact.
