I have no problem with this but when you look at many new cars you'll see a plethora of buttons, menus driven screens etc. all of which are more than capable of taking one's mind off the actual driving for long enough to be a potential problem.

Responsibility is what's key here (as it is with drink/drug driving) but seeing how so many young people, especially, appear virtually umbilically linked to their phones and unable to resist any notification, I think it's going to take a long while before the message gets through.
