Drive through windows, ash-treys in the front seat where the driver can get to them, etc. 3) it's not a question of whether the distraction exists for a few seconds or a few minutes, it's a question of there being a distraction at all... where do you draw the line? There is no logical place to draw the line with regard to passing unenforceable laws to keep drivers from being distracted, therefore we should simply stop wasting peoples time by arguing about and attempting to pass arbitrary, unenforceable laws. Or we should simply pass a law to prohibit drivers from any form of activity other than driving while they're behind the wheel, and start enforcing it with electroshock therapy. Scratch your face or turn you head to check out a babe on the corner who's tits are hanging out, receive a mild electrical shock. There you go, and the streets will be safe again!
