I bet those who are suggesting the changes to the law all have drivers rather than living in the real world.

I think they've actually got the wrong end of the stick here. The using of a handheld device (even in a holder) is the issue as there's just too much temptation to take selfies, post on FB etc..

Maybe making the car a faraday cage & then having some form of phone dock in the glovebox or lidded centre console is the way forward.

Phone will only work in the car using the external aerial & then links to the cars for telephone connectivity & other approved apps (SatNav, music streaming etc.) That way all the other distractions are blocked from functioning & the device is out of sight.

Ah but what about passengers & their phones Mmm have to think on that.
