    Probably quite easy with the way technology is going, I see there is cameras now that can virtually spot the type of phone you are using but that doesn't stop the people who look down with the phone below the steering wheel.

    The penalties for phone use in cars need to be really increased to a level where it is just not worth trying it on.

    In my world which is usually between 8 and 9 hours driving 5 or 6 days a week the majority of road users spend more time concentrating on not getting caught using there phones than there driving. I never have a problem with speeding it’s the idiots that think that 55 on a dual or motorway on cruise is acceptable where they trip up all the wagons.

    Screens in cars are looking more and more like phone screens as it is. I've seen this BMW Apple CarPlay feature which appears to (partly or otherwise) mirror your iPhone:

    The comment about 25% of accidents being caused by speeding is a bit inflammatory, but having worked there I would say accidents in America are caused by American drivers.
