There are already laws in place to take care of the first scenario. Enforce those, don't ban things that can be used properly.

And when that car in front of you stops suddenly, or that deer runs out across the road, do you think you're just as capable of reacting quickly enough? In the first scenario, you seem to accept that the phone is a distraction and reduces safety, but what about when factors in the second scenario are out of your control?
