We've already got a law covering this.... (Score 1)

It's called reckless or distracted driving. And it's never enforced when people are already not paying attention because they're working, putting on make-up, eating, screwing with their radio - what have you. Nobody seems to want to pen a law against any of those things do they? Let's just use the cell phone as a scape goat. Yeah that's it. Bottom line is cell phones are just one of many things that can be distracting while driving and the bigger issue is driving distracted. More enforcement of the existing law is needed regardless of the reason the person was driving like an idiot. Better driver education at the start would hurt as well but that's a whole 'nother argument. And for those of you who think we're so rude with cell phones impinging on every aspect of life here in the US - go get yourself a passport and do some travelling. I think you'd be surprised.
