It would be interesting to see if painting lurid stripes on the car as a punishment would help. Or require the driver to have warning sign attached in prominent places. Make it as embarrassing as possible.

Some states have different license plate designs for people convicted of drunk driving.

Make a phone-themed one!

Can we do this for other driving offenses? Like drivers who don't signal lane changes or drive slowly in the passing lane? I'm all about publicly shaming drivers into doing better.

If you regularly act a certain way in public, you haven't got much ground to complain about the shame of pointing out how you act in public.

Design a metal mesh to install over the entire car that acts as a Faraday cage haha.

Yeah, in practice it seems the only thing that will really work is license suspension.

People drive with suspended licenses all the time. What I'd really like to see upon conviction for distracted driving or drunk driving (similarly dangerous) is criminal forfeiture of the offender's vehicle and a court order prohibiting the offender from owning or possessing an automobile.
