Personally I don't understand it but often laws are made for the
absolute dumbest people and not the average person.
For instance, here it is illegal to talk on a handheld mobile but
you can talk all day on a handsfree/blue tooth or to the passenger
sitting next to you. The only difference being that you are holding
a phone to your ear and driving the car with one hand, (driving a
vehicle with one hand is not illegal).

Hendrik points out one of the inherent problems of trying to enforce
"anti-stupid" laws. "Anti-stupid" laws are in themselves stupid,
thus typical legal hypocrisy. They are always "selectively"
enforced; another hypocrisy.
Speaking of stupid, this is a cop story. Looked in the mirror on a 3
lane Interstate, nothing for a mile or so to the rear. Signalled,
started to move toward the left lane form the center, looked in the
mirror, and there is a black dogde copcar closing fast, and maybe a
quarter mile behind me. I was going maybe 65, so this schmuck had to
be going at least 120 No lights, no sireen. I got back over in the
center lane and this fool goes flying by, then jams on the brakes, as
all three lanes in front of me were plugged up.
In this state, the law is that unless the cop is "in pursuit" with
lights and sireens, they are subject to the same speeds and laws. Of
course, this is never enforced. It was a local yocal: suburban town
cop.
It sure would have been nice to have 3 passengers, one of whom was a
state snooper, and one with a video camera. That "might" have been
enough to get this idiot at least a slap on the hand.
