"We do not allow phone conversations while driving. Yup, that includes hands-free accessories. "

Any particular reason for banning hands-free devices, especially given that most cars nowadays have them and that many are controlled on the steering wheel directly?

It's really just based upon the new studies showing that "hands-free talking" isn't any less distracting. In short, it doesn't make driving safer.
