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.

drivers are cellphone users. But all unsafe drivers are unsafe drivers,
so punish unsafe driving.
