A study conducted by the University of Utah indicated that someone talking on a cell-phone (even if it's hands-free), is more likely to cause an accident than someone who is slightly above the legal blood-alcohol limit.

A summary of the study results can be found in the article "Drivers on Cell Phones Are as Bad as Drunks".
