No but prosecuting cellphone/texting driving as they do 0.08 BAC driving (heading down to 0.05 and then 0.03, Sweden is 0.01) would do something to fix the problem.

My neck is #@!$ed up for life by such a selfish b**** driver in a Porche SUV.

Here in the United States of America it's customary to wait until someone actually does something wrong before we prosecute them. This is the flaw with both BAC limits and prohibitions against using cell phones while driving.

If we were really interested in minimizing risks and outlawing things based on what MIGHT happen, we'd all be huge fans of gun control, wouldn't we?
