The reason there are laws like this one, and the BAC standard for
impaired ("drunk") driving, is to make prosecution easier. You can
argue that using the cell phone did not degrade your driving, but it's
hard to argue that you weren't using it. If the law is only against
reckless driving, the cop has to prove it and he'd rather not have to.
