This will all be about cultural change - it won’t stop everyone but it will stop some and if this means one less death then it will have been worth it. I would imagine if you had an accident your insurance company would be looking at whether you were on phone and if so then probably not pay out. Most large companies now all phone use including hands free phone use when on company business or in a company vehicle.
Um, there seems to be a crucial word missing from your last sentence. '...now BAN all phone use...' presumably? Tho most large companies in my recent experience where middle managers have to cover large distances on motorways - often for no real reason at all other than showing their face in distance outposts of their business empire for political reasons - are fully expected to participate in conference calls. Hard to envisage them suddenly stopping doing this, now that mobile have shackled most business types to being available 24/7. Businesses have, quite wrongly IMHO, come to expect that as the new normal.
