   These days, the police can charge someone for distracted driving     
   if they can assume the person was using/glancing at a detached     
   phone.  Of course, I would assume that they take other factors     
   into consideration before making that conclusion: whether the     
   phone is detached, whether a call was in progress at the time of     
   accident, etc.   
      
   I think there are a lot of people getting away with using their     
   phones with one free hand while driving.   
      
   Even my "attached" iPod connected onto a holder can be an easy     
   distraction if I need to tap on the screen to change songs or a     
   podcast.
