When my kids would do this, I would pull over and rectify the situation. My kids know there is no arguing or distractions while someone is driving.
I am not a big fan of talking on the cell phone while driving. Both DH and I have had near mishaps due to people talking on their cell phone . Last week I was behind an SUV with a package on their back bumper. I was behind them at a red light, so I beeped the horn to try and get their attention. I beeped 3 different times, as well as the people to the left of them, in the left turn lane rolling down their window to try and get the driver's attention. My DD said "Mom, she's on her cell phone". I beeped again, and she put her hands up in the air as to gesture "WHAT~!!!???", with the phone still in her ear. I rolled down my window and so did she, as did the car to the left.... I yelled "Get the hell off the phone, and get the thing off your bumper!!!!!" She finally got it, and gave us the thumbs up. The "package" turned out to be a rolled up newspaper in it's plastic bag. The driver drove off w/out getting it off her bumper.
I think it should be illegal unless you are a doctor maybe.
