Ok, fair enough. Where do we stop? IMO, my brother reaching in to his back seat to get his CD book and flipping through the pages on his lap is more dangerous than me scrolling through my Ipod. So I think changing CD's should be illegal while driving. No big deal, just pull over when your CD is done right? How about taking a jacket off while driving? Reaching for a water bottle from the back seat? Obviously these should be illegal too! I probably shouldn't tell you this but...sometimes, when I've been driving for hours and I'm on a relatively safe stretch of road I'll sit cross legged while using cruise control. This should definitely be illegal!
My point isn't about it being safe to talk on the phone (ok it kind of is) it's more about where do you draw the line? Furthermore, in my opinion a lot of these so called dangerous activities can be done safely and that's where the law regarding driving without due care comes into play.
