Edit! Since some people have insisted on dragging this discussion beyond what it was intended for (discussion of the new Distracted Driving regulations), and onto distracted walking and cycling, as well as continually using it as a platform to rant about how cars are the devil of the Earth, I have edited the title of this thread accordingly.
New Distracted Driving Laws are coming into effect.

The laws are now so severe that it appears even drinking a coffee while driving may be enough to have your vehicle impounded for 3 days.
Somewhat insanely, it's actually permissible to use a mobile phone so long as it's mounted to the dash.
The wording, I feel, is very poor (see the section about "using a Bluetooth"). I don't think this is a very organized approach to the issue and only clouds it further.
