The "no phones whilst driving" law is a good example of what is wrong with the way that we try to sort out bad behaviour by traffic.
We had, before the phone legislation, and still have "driving without due care and attention".
If we had sufficient coppers to actually make a difference we could have simply enforced the existing legislation.
Making a specific offence of phone use is only useful if we are in the current mess- that of trying to enforce good behaviour by imposing fines-after-the-fact, of offences detected by camera and checked by someone in a contact centre.
