How would this work in practice? Would it just apply to new vehicles? If so there would be many millions of vehicles without such technology for years/decades to come.

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.
