Make it mandatory for all cars to have a device that transmits a signal to the driver's cellphone so that the phone ONLY operates when the car is in PARK!

Why? Because this is an issue that affects everyone on the road, not just the driver. So an invasion of privacy is warranted.

These devices have been around for ages (remember car phones). It could be used like Serious or XM radio when a specific station is used to have your car speakers playing the voice of the other person and a small sensitive mic picks up your voice. Brilliant technology.
Mandatory? I'd say yes but it'll never happen. If people stopped crashing into each other how would insurance companies make any money?

1. Mandatory add-ons to vehicles and electronics always end up being paid for by the consumer. Why make everyone pay for the foolish activities of a few?
2. It wouldn't be possible for the device to distinguish between a driver's cell phone or a passenger's cell phone, so you'd be preventing cell phone calls by people riding in the vehicle for no good reason
3. What happens if the vehicle is damaged in an accident, and the driver can't make an emergency call for help?
That all leaves aside the question of whether such a device is even technologically feasible.

What about a device, which will not allow you eat in a car? Or talk to a passenger (it's a distraction) or listen to a ball game on the radio? You can be very distracted listening to a ball game, don't you agree?
Where do you stop? And who will decide what is more distractive to a driver - a normal cell phone conversation or arguing with a girlfriend, who is in the passenger seat?

I additionally experience a motorbike, have been, on and rancid, as a results of fact 1964. I disagree. there is not any justification for scuffling with passengers from using their cellular telephones. As a motorcyclist and long term risk-free practices freak, it truly is my activity to circumvent hitting or being hit with the aid of others. i comprehend that some drivers are pitiful, idiots, insane, uneducated, distracted, impaired, oblivious, and so on. and are to no longer be envisioned to obey any site visitors regulation. So i do no longer. exceptionally on a motorbike the place i'll be injury if everybody ever does have the means to hit me. "just about have been given creamed" is a demonstration which you weren't paying finished interest on your driving. in case you do no longer shape up that "just about" gets dropped and you gets creamed. Addendem: in case you have been paying interest and easily dodged the fool motive force it became into no longer an "just about have been given creamed", it became into company as customary. which does no longer substitute the respond -- there is not any criminal justification for denying a passenger use of a cellular telephone.

I think that's a great idea!
Even better is to outlaw cellphones completely.

While I understand your concern. I believe that such a concept is perhaps pushing too far.
