Whether I'm driving a vehicle (various sizes) or riding a bike when I see someone on the phone it literally enrages me.
Taken to driving head on at them, not proud of it, but I'd rather they shit themselves then drive off the road or at least fill their pants then something involving another road user occur down the road due to their lack of concentration.
At traffic lights tried all sorts of approachs in terms of 'hi there, would you mind please not using your phone whilst driving' to 'get off the phone fuckface'. But the most effective is certainly the drive a large vehicle at them, on the horn/horns, or whilst on bike just weave right at their drivers door, then calmly carry on your journey. Usually results in teh phone on the floor or quickly thrust into a pocket*
*People hiding the phone would suggest that most folk are consciously aware it is illegal
