They do think before they pass the laws. The problem is, their goals are rarely ever include what is best for the citizens living in the country/state/city. I would love to corner a senator and ask: "Do you really think dialing a phone number is any more distracting than setting fire to something sticking out of one's mouth?"

The thing is, if they pass a law banning handset use by the driver, you cannot have it struck down by saying there are other more dangerous activities that aren't banned.
