I would be totally in favor of such laws here in the states. I can't tell you how many times people have almost walked right into me because they're distracted on their fucking cell phones or "deaf" to what's going on around them because they have their earbuds in.

You may get your wish - there was talk of enacting similar laws in NYC. I say let Darwin sort em out. No need for the government to be poking more into our lives.
Now talking on the cell phone in a place I can't get away from - that should be illegal. Nothing I hate worse than some yenta sitting next to me on the bus and blabbing away to pass the time. My cell phone calls on the bus are: "I'm on the bus, what's up? - okay cool, meet you @ blah blah blah - call you back in a couple of minutes - bye."
