I agree that this is a huge hazard, especially considering that so many people on the road are horrible drivers without extra distractions.

I'm genuinely surprised this isn't already illegal. In the UK any use of a mobile phone whilst driving, or supervising a learner driver, is illegal. This includes being stopped at traffic lights. The only exceptions are emergency calls.

Its illegal in CA to talk or text. People still do it, including cops. Occasionally some will do their job as an excuse to pull you over.

I use speakerphone or my cars speakers instead.

They should ban speed sensors though and light cameras. Instead of spending money on that, they should get a better light system that works for motorcycles. I have to run lights because Im stuck there for 10+ minutes at a time if someone doesnt come and trip the sensor
