I hate restrictive laws, but driving on public roads is a potentially
dangerous task, and I want all drivers to
concentrate on *getting to their destination safely*. "Hang up and drive
or pull over and talk."

Indeed. Why isn't the blanket "failure to devote full time and attention"
to driving sufficient?

Micro-legislating breeds scofflaws.

I, personally, could live with enforcement so that such things as putting on
makeup, eating, drinking, having a poodle in your lap, reading, slapping the
kids, adjusting the radio, and a host of other things would draw a ticket
immediately. I firmly believe that someone has been killed by a driver
doing one of these things. And probably hundreds more really stupid things.
