First, I agree with your concerns, just not your solution.  No law anywhere can protect you or your kids while you are in a car.  Sad but true.  Agg Murder is strictly illegal and severely punished, but people still do it.
I highlighted what I think is the solution to your concern.  It is the drivers of the other cars.  You can be defensive when you drive....but that only goes so far.  If the idiots would pay attention, ie not dial while driving if they can't do it without endangering themselves or others..THEY should not do so.  As it happens, I can.  Ask anyone who is speaking to me while I'm driving....there are moments when they must repeat what they say because of something some idiot did that absorbs my concentration from the conversation.  For me, it is not just a matter of coordination...but more importantly one of priorities.
Little Sally needs a ticket, I don't. 
 
(edit) Oh...and the hands free deal...they have that in one of the cruisers....you must look AWAY from the road to dial....you can't put the phone up to your line of sight so you can glance at it without turnng your head.  (and it doesn't work for shit if you are moving I might add...one way mic cuts out for travel noise)-- Edited by zap at 08:33, 2006-04-19

I see your point, but tickets do nothing. I got my shit revoked for speeding. I still speed. Now if I was gonna be taken to jail for speeding? I would not do it. Ok people my god I was a little harsh in my decision. I see the light. I just wish there was a way to make people only use their phones when they had to, not cause they can.
