may i ask what statistics you have to back up that assertion? i would be very interested if there is empirical data. that asked, i would say if a person is not using handsfree, including voice dialing, that is just plain stupid and could be an issue.
but so could fiddling w/a car radio or cd player...as others has noted, common sense cannot be legislated and our LEOs are already over-taxed. more "feel good" laws won't change or fix the lack of basic safety (don't people take driver's ed anymore?). Or maybe some HS physics and understand how much force is imparted by a moving vehicle hitting another object.
