I'm sorry I overlooked the Libertarian view that everything people do is just fine and that everything governments do are - well - intrinsically evil.
One of the most distracting and dangerous things I ever did in a car was smoking cigarettes. Dropping a lit Marlboro is far more disconcerting and distracting than using a phone, eating or tuning a radio, two of which most people have done for generations with relative safety.
Another biggie is having a wasp in the car. but obviously that is not a problem government can solve.
The point is even though we know certain behaviors are risky, we continue to do them anyway. We need to learn not to do this, but the word is out and the problem persists.
It is in the nature of humans to make mistakes and in the nature of governments to try to do something about constituents dying, egged on by the remorseful families left behind.
It's all about education, but that part is done. So what do we do now?
