I have a well-educated guess at what will happen because I've actually lived and driven in both environments. And I'm sure that if I did five minutes of internet research I could find studies that show the exact opposite.

The last part is just inane. How does removing distractions cause more distraction? People are still doing it, just hiding it, and causing more accidents. The penalty (or lack thereof) is the issue, not the law.
