I don't know what form the laws will take or how they will be enforced.
But I'm fine with just saying:
Having a phone conversation, whether hands free or not, while driving is simply stupid. So stop doing it.
Using devices that require more than a second of contact to use while also taking your eyes off the road is simply stupid. So stop doing it.
Doing stupid **** that risks other people's lives because you think, without any evidence beyond the fact you haven't killed anybody yet, that you're one of the people who doesn't suffer the same cognitive and motor failings as general human beings is stupid. So stop doing it.
So, rather than criminal penalties for it, I think the law should be that if you almost or successfully harm or kill me because you're being stupid while operating a car I get to kick you in the balls. Or the lady balls if you're a lady (which you aren't because you're being an idiot while driving). And I get to keep doing it until I feel you've learned an important life lesson.
