Social acceptability. Or lack thereof, rather.
It's socially unacceptable for abled bodied people to park in handicap spots, so that's fined heavily. But, as a society, we don't really care about texting or cellphone use while driving, so it's deemed a lesser infraction.
We're way beyond driving laws having any true reflection upon safety.
