You are wrong actually, driving while using a phone is actually a lot more
dangerous than simply speeding. Even using a handsfree kit is not that
effective in reducing the danger. The problem is that concentrating on the
phone call is a major distraction from paying attention to driving
conditions. Psychologically it is a lot different to just talking to another
person in the car with you.
It's possible that this law is not well respected because some officers
have been over aggressive and prosecuted drivers that have pulled over
to take a call at the side of the road safely.
