Permanent? For touching your cell phone? With no consideration of the circumstances? A mandatory minimum sentence of permanent removal of driving privileges for touching a phone?

How do you define touching the phone? Can you imagine some circumstances where that shouldn’t be a permanent removal of driving privileges?

For distracted/technologically impaired driving, which in my mind is using technology in some empirically-defined unsafe manner. How we would determine that threshold is something we as a society would have to determine, but I would hope that we would use evidence-based processes to make that determination.

I just look at laws and how they’re set up now; and I just can’t imagine the legislature actually doing what you want.

You're in all likelihood correct, but that's the sort of policy I would hope for.
