100% yes. The technology already exists to do this. A large portion of people are to selfish to regulate themselves, and as a motorcycle rider that has almost been killed more than a few times by idiots on their phones, I would 100% support it. The only communication device that should be allowed in a car while in motion, is a handsfree, voice activated BT system IMO. And there is even debate that those aren't distraction free enough.
And no, I don't care if your bubble wrapped ADD kid can't watch movies, or play Minecraft in the back seat..... we fared just fine without those devices on road trips for decades. Here sport, this is called a coloring book. Knock yourself out.
