It hasn't been long enough for the general population's behavior to change. We spent 5+ years getting used to yakking away while driving,* it will take some time to get people to pay attention to the law, or be forced into paying attention, and actually start having an effect.

I'd love to be able to pull a Mossad and when I see, say, the stupid b*tch who ended up a carlength past the limit line at three successive lights because she was two-thumbing away, I could point my FM gun, pull the trigger, and have her phone light up, "BYE BYE" and then explode.


* My goodness, how did we ever survive without talking to someone every rolling mile?
