I doubt you're right in your assessment of the cognitive impacts of those distractions. But even if you are you're the exception. After all, 90% of people think they're above average drivers.

But again, just because you have other things that you feel distract you more, does not mean that it is a good idea to be distracted by this. Especially since I'm guessing most of the time you are adding the phone to those other distractions rather than replacing them.

Obviously I haven't seen you drive, but if you really are that distracted I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of the two-or-three cars a week I kick for being crap drivers who almost run into me on my various walks.

I have no expectation that any laws on this would be rigidly or consistently enforced. But I still have no problem with the idea of such rules.
