   You have to remember, there are already a dozen or so laws that legislate   
   unsafe driving (e.g., reckless driving, unsafe lane changes, crossing the   
   imaginary barrier, speeding, unsafe weaving, not staying in your lane,   
   etc.), each of which probably contributes to an accident in one out of a   
   few thousand cases.   
      
   (That is, you can make an unsafe lane change about a thousand times before   
   it causes an accident - these are guesstimates to help you understand the   
   point that we already legistlate possibly unsafe actions.)   
      
   Would adding another two dozen laws for specific acts where only one in   
   five hundred thousand cause an accident make any difference?   
      
   (Here, I assume using a cellphone to make a phone call contributes to   
   acccidents in something like one out of a half-million cases.)   
      
   We can argue about the statisticks, but the answer is obvious.
