   Making a few specific things illegal because some people get distracted   
   using them is the way government schools, prisons, occupied towns, etc   
   are run. Johnny did something wrong so now everyone is restricted.... Or   
   perhaps it's a bunch of people who think that making what they don't do   
   illegal but not what they do is the way to go. But the way to go is to   
   deal with the bad driving, not possible contributing factors. The   
   possible contributing factors are infinite and picking a few is simply   
   arbitrary.
