I think that laws banning the use while driving are a good idea...however, I feel that if a person would go to the effort of getting a hands-free option (headset, speaker mountable, etc.) that might be a reasonable compromise. Also, if drivers can't give up the phones totally, maybe get them to pull over to the side of the road!
