Penalties for being on your phone while driving are fairly different between different countries. In the UK it's 6 points and £200 if you're caught. It's a fair deterrent

Last I heard, it was around $100 here. But I can't imagine that it's enforced. If you walk three blocks downtown without seeing a drive using a phone, you aren't looking.

In addition to lighter penalties, there's no enforcement of the law in much of the U.S.
