I don’t think the law matters here…it’s enforcement. I cycle every day downtown in a major city, and I see so much craziness with phones, including watching videos, texting, and playing Pokemon Go while driving. My city has banned all use of cell phones while driving if not using a hands-free devices. It’s just that nobody is ever pulled over, nobody’s ever even warned, and it seems that nobody cares. The cops too are too busy on their phones.
