How about making distracted drivers illegal?

Quick! You are a police officer on the road in your patrol car - how do you determine if a person is "distacted" when they are thinking about their relationship?

Now you are the prosecuting attorney ready to present your case before the judge. What evidence do you use?

Or are we going to use evidence like they did in the movie Minority Report?

I was being sarcastic. The point is that they should make laws and stop you or not based on your DRIVING, i.e. are you observing stop signs, signaling when you change lanes, whether you are or are not weaving in and out of lanes, etc., NOT based on what you hold in your hand or what you may or may not be thinking.
