I have similar rules that I follow the majority of the time, but then break them. I'll stupidly allow the hectic periods to swamp any sense of the larger picture. It's just an insane productivity gain to get things done while driving and, in the moment, the gains outweigh the risk.

That said, I think adding a new level of resistance should go a long ways.

    I'm actually surprised the rate of accidents isn't higher.

Truly. Isn't even just talking on the phone the equivalent of having two drinks? And texting while driving the equivalent of BAC .1% drunk?
