It's hard to prove that an accident happened because you were day-dreaming, or some of the other things you mentioned.
When texting, they can just check your phone records.
An 18 year girl who just graduated from HS, ran off the road near my home and was killed. Cause of accident - texting. They found the phone with a partial text on it, she was just getting ready to send it.
Was she wearing her seatbelt, ran off the road because in the middle of her texting a bee landed on her and she freaked out. Government knows they can tax or regulated something because they can "track it" if they could track your thoughts and radio they would. So be careful what you wish for and while it is said texting and driving is probably not a good idea. But that is the risk you take with just driving period and texting, changing the radio, taking your hands off the wheel and even having a arguement with your bf or gf in the seat next to you. Welcome to life and safety and life and death will come texting or not. Maybe she should have just no being texting and if there was a law do you think it should stop her?
Do you think seatbelt laws force something to wear a seatbelt?

Is there nothing this Congress won't propose to take over all the states and limit their freedoms and sovreignty?
Sounds like a good idea to me. Half the people here can't make a coherent statement while sitting down, much less trying to drive.
