While I agree, I think we need to widen the net to "distracted driving" so phone calls, eating while driving, yelling at kids in the backseat, etc all fall into the same consequence. Drivers in the US, in my experience, tend to believe their vehicles have some some of magical autopilot mode, and I'd argue that some safety features come dangerously close to advertising themselves as such. What drivers fail to recognize is just how splintered their attention becomes when they focus on other tasks while driving, even something as seemingly simple as changing the radio station. No amount of data seems to be able to convince them that their brains are no more capable of juggling operating a vehicle while doing other things than anyone else's is, but we all want to believe we are capable.
