I have not seen one valid reason against these laws, all I've seen is excuses.
"Nanny state".... we wouldn't need these laws if it wasn't for stupid people.
"Against my rights"... driving is a privilege not a right.
"I educate my kids properly"... good for you, what about other peoples kids?
"Ban changing the radio station and the climate controls"... if they are that bad of a design then yes.
"I was just looking at the phone, not actually making a call or texting"...really? How is this any different?
"Private correspondence"....How is time and date of an occurring offence relivant to this?
"So you guys have never talked to a passenger, consulted a map, changed the radio, looked for an address, yelled at a kid"....maybe, but again this is a very poor excuse.
"The sentiments in this thread mirror a generational divide"... so are you stating one generation is more responsible than the other?
Laws like these are made for a reason, like the fact people have been injured or killed because of it and people are stupid enough to do it.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
