Is legislating a distraction-free driving environment possible?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) August 26th, 2008

Why do we have laws banning driving while talking on a cell phone, but not driving while…using a CB (thanks JackAdams), eating, finding change for the toll booth, looking for that damn cd, or the most distracting of all: driving with children? Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply charge an offender with negligent driving if one causes an accident due to inattentiveness, whatever the reason?
