If mandated for all how would it work? Compliance and enforcement? Sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare. It don't think it's that practical.
As with drink driving the message should be that this behaviour is socially unacceptable. Back that up with not just fines, but penalty points that result in the suspension of driving privliges.

I don't have answers for your questions.
Still, I stand by my idea.
18 zillion people will fight over the details.
All I know is using a car as a phone booth is hazardous tor your health and the health of others.
Freedom is lovely, but you shouldn't have the right to put me and my kids at this level of risk.
When public safety is sufficiently at risk we limit people's rights to do whatever they want.
Over time people adjust, just like they adjusted to there being red lights.
