So what's the difference between using a phone and using a touch screen in a modern day automobile? In fact the brain box in the dash of these new cars is every bit if not more distracting is it not? Should those be outlawed too?

I agree with Misty on this one, there are laws in place for distracted driving, that in and of itself is sufficient. The only way I can even see a ticket stick is if it can be proven that a phone was in use at the time an accident was caused. By then it's to late. Otherwise it's he said she said.
