Perhaps sensors could be built into the steering wheel such that failure to have two hands on the wheel would signal the authorities who would then pull the offender over and issue a citation for reckless driving.
Or maybe just impound and sell the vehicle to pay for the monitoring system.

I love it! hahaha
I agree with you; some of the ideas on this are a little extreme and "big brother".
I think the problem isn't the devices, or talking to passengers, or reading the paper. The problem is the driver.
Frank - the people who nearly hit you while using their cell would not become better or safer drivers if you took their phone away. They would find something to look at, or be distracted by the radio, etc. anyway IMO. Just because this class of morons have chosen their unsafe distraction of choice to be the cell phone does not mean that all using them are like this.
We could bring up plenty of stereotypes like, "teenage driver" or "woman driver".. etc. here. Just because the only bad drivers you see might be people with red hair doesn't mean the other red haired drivers are driving like idiots. I'm sure you know this - not trying to insult you, just bringing it up as an argument.
