In-car displays are a paradox for sure.
On the old guy, looks like he has a GPS, but it could be a notepad. Distracted driving and talking on or otherwise using a phone are tantamount — one is the other. The fact that they are charging him with the use of a phone and that's not what it is, does not justify being distracted.
But the thing I want to know and didn't see it, was he moving or stopped? If stopped I don't see why one can't look at a pad, change the radio, light up a cigar, whatever.
Just don't flip down the visor and do your eyelashes.
