That, and convincing people who don't think they're more dangerous because 
they're doing it that they really are. Same as drunk driving laws - trying 
to get people to plan for having a designated driver, rather than just 
saying "Oh, I drive just as well after a couple beers."

Nah. I think the difference is that way more people talk on the phone than 
eat while driving, and when you outlaw talking on the phone they start texting.
