There are plenty of ways to enforce (or discourage) talking on a cell phone while driving. If phone records show you are talking when an accident occurs, an extra charge (above the level of a ticket, akin to a DUI) can be added, or a driver can be presumed responsible for the accident. Or perhaps insurance policies can have exclusions for coverage if you are in an accident while talking.

Plenty of people will run the risk of a ticket, especially when enforcement is sporadic. The prospect of financial ruin, however remote, can be a more effective deterrent.
