I've heard stories of people who took a sip of coffee or sneezed and killed a pedestrian, it doesn't mean that that drinking a morning cup of coffee and driving should be illegal. It means that we need to take a holistic view of risk and make decisions that are adapted to a particular situation. Personally, I think if we were serious about saving lives, instead of trying to idiot-proof cars, we need to stop letting idiots drive cars. Reading a message on your phone in a holder directly in your field of vision, on an empty, limited-access highway in good weather carries virtually no risk. Going the posted speed limit and "obeying the law" on a road covered in black ice or on a foggy morning could be insanely dangerous and reckless, but most drivers receive zero training on those situations (At least in the USA). We need better training and tougher driver licensing standards, not thousands of rules in a futile attempt to stop people from doing every conceivable stupid thing.
