Its strange it hasn't been banned in the US yet. In a lot of countries you get a fine or penalty points on your licence for being caught on the phone and driving

Your so way off base! the problem started with texting! NOT talking on the phone! silly! this wasnt a problem til texting became more of a daily thing, people have been talking on the cell since begining of 1990's, and yes there were not as many as now, but CB's were in use since 60's 70's and even now, never heard of them getting in, or causing accidents!

Perhaps points on the driving record is what is required? Anybody can pay a fine. Points however can lead to: increased car insurance, potential driving restrictions, driving license removal. Points could have more of a "lasting" impact.

Talking on a cell phone is no more distracting or dangerous than talking to a passenger in your vehicle. Bad drivers are just that, stop using the "distraction" as an excuse.

It kinda is though. You have to look down to dial the number. And you know how most elderly, asians, and women are not the best of drivers to begin with. So you would want these groups to have both eyes on the road at all times if you're driving anywhere around them. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but when they make a law, they make it for everyone across the board. They can't single out certain groups.
PS- this isn't meant to be a racist statement, so I aplogize if you fall into one of those groups and you THINK you're a good driver. But 90% of drivers would agree that the majority of those 3 groups make up the most hazardous drivers on the road, especially here in NY.
