I do not own a car, but I do take the train lots of places, and I enjoy being able to communicate with people while I commute.
For what it's worth, I agree that distracted driving is a huge problem, which is a big part of why I would like to see a drastic reduction in the rate of car ownership, the number of cars in our cities, and extremely harsh punishments for drivers who kill people. We also should make it much, much easier to live far away from cars, but close to other people, in developments like https://www.bloommerwede.nl/ https://www.bloommerwede.nl/ for instance.
This reminds me of how MADD looked at drunk driving and decided the problem was all alcohol and not, in fact, car dependency.

Convincing (or forcing) hundreds of millions of people to stop driving, reorganizing cities, eliminating rural and suburban living to the greatest extent possible. I too enjoy using my phone while traveling. But if I couldn't, it'd be no skin off my back most of the time. And, I mentioned only disabling the screen, not the whole phone.
