True, where do you draw the line? But I would say that allowing people to use a device that's not needed while driving a car and is known to cause accidents a good place to draw the line. Now dont get me wrong, I've used my cell phone many times while driving, but really I knew especially when dialing the number that it wasn't the smartest thing to do.
I had the front end of my '66 Jag destroyed by a head on collision by some one adjusting their radio and for 5 seconds he drifted over into my lane and I had no where to go, but as a whole a radio doesn't distract someone, compared to blaa blaaa blaa on the phone for 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
I guess imho it's a sensible law
