This could actually have been a recommendation of the long-promised review into road safety and traffic offences, before Grayling kicked it into the long grass and just said he'd look at cycling offences instead (after a certain well-publicised incident).
But if it were ever a recommendation, there's no doubt furious lobbying by road-related companies, etc. and some angry headlines about poor, put-upon motorists would have had it promptly ignored though.

Yeah, I get it. The jury system is part of the problem here, as most of them have probably used a phone while driving already.
Something needs to change on the careless/dangerous classification though. Convictions for dangerous driving are too hard to secure. That is the problem. How can this be changed?
