More importantly where it says this:

Can I use a hands free phone?
Yes you can. Essentially, you are allowed to push buttons, but not to hold the phone, so make sure it’s in a cradle which is attached to your dashboard. However, do remember that if you are stopped for driving in a poor or careless manner and the police discover that you were using a hands-free mobile phone, you can still be prosecuted for not having proper control of your vehicle - the penalty for which is the same as it is for using a hand held phone while driving - a £60 fine and 3 penalty points.

It states you are not allowed to hold the phone while driving.
Looks like DR has found one BUT.. the sentence referred to about holding the phone is subject to the title ' Can I use a hands free phone' so maybe not quite so clear cut.

I think we need a lawyer !!
