I have watched police weave down the road and the driver was obviously using his laptop. You can't have it both ways. 1. I doubt you could see him using the laptop and 2. They take professional driving classes, not that that makes it safe or right. Still talking on a cell phone is not the same a surfing the web. I know people that can text with out looking at the phone is that OK? I think it is just generation thing, the younger generation can do it better than our parents. I talk on my phone all the time but I don't text because I have to look to do it. Shouldn't be able to talk on a cell phone till you have been driving for x amount of years maybe?

Assuming the knee is handling the wheel. Not to mention they have their radio as well. But seriously, if we could just get the computers to drive the damn car we could drink, drive, surf, talk and the gang bangers might actually be able to hit the right targets. Traffic signal sequences can be managed by the Twinkie eaters in the city control rooms. Better yet, the cops and the bangers could play Hot Pursuit 20xx via the citywide LAN against each other and well...I could go on.
