      it’s already illegal you goose. People still use phones while driving. Safety needs to be designed into things, you can’t fine it into existence.

    Banning stuff does stop it, see Hitler (existing) or horses on highways.

    It helps, the world isn’t white or black. Many people stops doing things because those things are illegal. Then I agree that there will always be some people doing the bad and some people doing the good regardless of the law.

    Yeah. Shouldn’t even bother with laws against murder. Doesn’t stop people killing each other.
