I can understand holding their phone while driving, but why
"properly secured"? If someone is on their phone hands-free with
bluetooth or something, what difference would it make if the phone
is in a phone holder or in a cup holder, or in their pocket?
In a collision, an unsecured phone can become a missile. That has been said.

I'd think the same could be said for anything sitting in the car.. For inst where, which could potentially go flying in a collision.

If the phone needs some level of interaction, such as to answer a call , a loose phone could slip out of someone's hands or be right out of their reach, making it hard to reach and drive at the same time.
little surprised they also haven't passed laws against changing the music on car stereo while driving, or using a GPS while driving.
The only hiccup? 2011 audio. Wait, what do you mean there isn't a touch screen, and support for USB drives? I can't pick music by genres, select
play lists, and use voice commands? No Pandora client?
Works fine for my wife, she still listens to CDs and it does do hands-free bluetooth. I found a cable with lightning on one end and a 3.5mm stereo headphone plug so she can play audio through the AUX jack.
I don't really use much of that. I put a GPS navigation stereo in my car in 2012, and I mostly just use the radio tuner (yes, I still listen to the radio in my car), MP3s on a USB drive, and I use the GPS from time to time. It has a Pandora connection, but even with my phone paired via Bluetooth and Pandora running on my phone, I've never gotten the Pandora connection working with my car stereo.

That's one reason why some places have passed laws against holding and using a phone while driving. If you can use your phone hands-free, that would be more ideal. Some smartphones have a voice assistant that can read texts and let you respond to texts with voice commands. Also, many cars these days have a Bluetooth-compatible stereo and let you answer phone calls from the car streo interface so you don't have to touch your phone. You could also buy a Bluetooth headset to wear while driving.
