"people who may also have to live with the unbearable conscience of possibly having severely injured or killed someone else"
(personal anecdote warning)
You're assuming the driver has a conscience - the guy who hit me head-on didn't. He finished his call whilst dragging my motorcycle to the side of the road, then moved his 12 ton truck out of the way to prepare his story to the cops. Luckily forensics proved me in the right, but he was never punished for using a phone while driving. For all I know he's still driving trucks through London whilst on the phone - scares the hell out of me anyways! And yes I use a phone in the car, but only witha complete handsfree setup, and only to receive calls. Any time I feel like making a call I remember the 2 years of physical rehab I went through, and pull over.
