Modern traffic policing can get too obsessed with things like phones. With modern phones being able to do GPS-like things, which are generally benign, a phone in the hand isn’t necessarily a devil in the car. (Though I found a way to prop it up in the convenience tray.)

How is the car behaving. That’s what should matter.

Only if it’s a self-driving car.

I’m kind of zero tolerance for such things, even with both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road people still get killed or kill others (but in less numbers). It takes just a split second.
So I’m of the mind the only reason a person should be using any device is to call 911 due to an emergency - and then he should set the device down.
