introduce regulations like phones disabling certain features while cars are in motion but leaving them as useful for navigation and music etc.

my phone spotify goes into ‘car mode’ when driving, which is even more of a distraction to me, where the usual app i can operate almost in my sleep, the different layout means it takes me more concentration how to figure out how to change songs or whatever, despite all the icons being bigger and technically ‘easier’ to use.

not that im encouraging using it at all when in the car, im guilty and im sure a lot of people are too, but theres an example where the attempt to make something safer in my case actually made it more dangerous

sure, and people have made braking assist programs that are hypersensitive and get disabled.

Exactly because people going it alone make arse decisions is why guidlines and regulations would be a good thing to have.
