    The US absolutely has seatbelt laws, and only two states don’t have cellphone use laws.

    Problem is that that they’re rarely enforced.

      I think the problem is the lack of a way to prove someone was on their phone. It’s such a hassle that cops stopped pulling people over for it because it led nowhere.
