Mean while reading the newspaper, using a map, playing with CB radio,
etc still legal.

Making a few specific things illegal because some people get distracted
using them is the way government schools, prisons, occupied towns, etc
are run. Johnny did something wrong so now everyone is restricted.... Or
perhaps it's a bunch of people who think that making what they don't do
illegal but not what they do is the way to go. But the way to go is to
deal with the bad driving, not possible contributing factors. The
possible contributing factors are infinite and picking a few is simply
arbitrary.
