We have the technology to let’s say if the phone is going 10mph plus and not using Bluetooth then it shuts down.

Almost no one wants that. So it boils down to personal responsibility which almost no one has anymore.. It’s someone else’s problem or fault or maybe the device “made me do it” aka narcissistic attitude..
Modern Apple and Android devices already have a feature that will put the phone into a hands free mode while connected by Bluetooth to a vehicle, or if it detects traveling over set speeds, problem is people can disable it in the settings. Which I assume many do.

Back in 2010 I was rear ended by a girl on her phone… I was stopped at a red light… Totaled my highly modified 01 mustang gt…. Nice thing was the money I got from her insurance I bought a nice 07 mustang gt!! I can’t stand people using phones while driving…
Happened to me also but my Wrangler only had a scuff on the underside of the rear steel bumper. Her hood was pushed back to the windshield. She admitted she had been texting and not paying attention to the light. It was her parents car.
