The police do pull people over here, as it's illegal, and they have police out on the road all the time specifically looking for driving infractions of all sorts.  They give out hefty tickets for cell use- all the heftier if there are other infractions. 
During a panel on the legalization of medical marijuana, the representative from the law enforcement community said 'We're not out on the street looking for people who have a joint, thats not what we do. We have better things to do with our limited resources - like protect from and solve real crimes.

My question is as follows: Is your local community so utopian that every real crime has been prevented and solved and every real criminal has been captured and brought to justice? If so, please enlighten the rest of the world as to how you arrived at that situation. If no, then stop looking for cell phones and get back to looking for the rapists, murderers, and thieves.

Does this promise include dialing internet friends from your butt while you drive?

Which they could do if people would just hang up and drive, instead of believing that they could circumvent the principles of their basic neural circuitry by "trying hard to be careful" and "being smarter than everyone else."

I will too. I might have to tape a photo of Wombat giving me a stern look to my dashboard, though.

Perhaps, though, she'd prefer we use a Guilt Pug instead?

I'll have to think about what I could come up with for those possibilities. Or you could just buy an Oprah sticker:

Yeah, Oprah posters and whatever thats great, I believe in the mission of getting people to shut up and drive. Where we differ is in the police action.

oh god, now I'm imagining the future, when teenagers have conversations where they get self-righteous about friends who talk on a phone in/near a car.
"TALKING AND DRIVING KILLS. YOU'RE AN IDIOT."
"wait, guys, have you ever driven a car? do you know anything about this? I... I'm not talking and driving. I am not even close to doing that."
"MY MOM SAID I SHOULD TAKE YOUR KEYS AWAY."

ok this parallel is not working out as well as it does in my head.
