> I understand the point about the danger of using mobile devices while driving a moving vehicle. But, what exact is the danger of using one when you are stationary, especially if you have been pulled over by a police officer? It is a law without a rational justification, and laws lacking rational justification are harmful.
The danger is loss of police revenue. In Australia it’s illegal to use your phone to pay at a McDonald’s drive through if your the one sitting in the drivers seat. Even if the car is in park.
This is the core of the issue, in my opinion.
