In reply to teflonpete:
Yep - lots of distractions out there... theres been lots of stuff on banning this that and the next thing etc. But I think it's all generically covered under 'driving without due care and attention'.
I'm pretty sure if you drive like a muppet while using a bluetooth phone they'll simply do you with lack of care and attention even though bluetooth phone is allowed vs using handset not being allowed.
Bottom line is its the drivers responsibility to be in control whatever they are doing, not to have a mandated list of things you are allowed to do and a list of things you are not.
Personally, seeing cars swerving around while a driver tries to light a ciggy annoys me as a non smoker who sees it as a dumb thing to be doing to start off with, never mind while driving but I don't think its necessarily much worse than lots of other things that are more scoially acceptable (but perhaps shouldn't be).
