NHTSA should lobby for a nationwide ban on cell phone use while driving, handsfree or otherwise. More than a few studies have shown that a driver operating a phone has the reaction time of a person intoxicated above the legal limit.

I agree on the irresponsible speed kills.
However, the same study showed that children contributed to as many accidents. So I am not sure one can blame the use of cellphones exclusively.
Anyone remember the Powell Motors Homer? Where the front and rear passengers are enclosed in seperate bubbles. Now there's an idea!
Seriously, I think we need to take a lesson from our European friends where diciplined, safe, responsible and polite driving allows safe speed.
