Source:
Canadian Community Health Survey [2013-14], Statistics Canada, Share File, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term CareA much smaller proportion reported often using hands free when using their cell phone in the car. It was 13.8% in Middlesex London, which was significantly less than the Ontario rate.
Like non-hands free cell phone use, hands free use is more common among males than females. While the trend is not statistically significant the rate of hands free use increases as income increases (not shown).
