There should not be a law against this (even though it's very dangerous). For those that do drive poorly while on cell phones, very stiff consequences and reprocutions should follow.

I believe the keyword in this point is the word "preventable". By outlawing hand-held phone use while driving I suppose the hope is to:
- reduce the number of cellphone-using drivers out there.
- reduce the # of cell-phone-related accidents
- make the streets a bit safer
- and of course remove yet another one of *your* rights.
Cops can't be everywhere, and cellphones are able to be banned. Yelling at kids or searching for stuff isn't.
