I lived in Tokyo in the late 70's. It was very common to see the 
mic-on-visor, and a switch mounted to the gearshift. The driver could 
operate "hands free" as it were. This was for both commercial and 
amateur radios. I ran such a set up in my sports car for a time; except 
using a throat mic. I could talk, shift gears, etc. No problem. Haven't 
seen that type of kit offered here (U.S.) in years, though.
