No, it's time for the cops to enforce the laws that are already on the 
books.

"Driving while encumbered" is the act of driving while doing ANYTHING 
that interferes with your ability to drive. My gf got a ticket for 
driving while holding a coke in her lap because it interfered with her 
ability to properly control the vehicle.

I've asked several cops, and yes, it's still on the books, and yes, it 
would apply, if the cops would enforce it.
