No, we don't.

"There's also the question of culpability. A cell-phone talking driver
(or, for that matter, a drunk driver) is a risk to others; as, for
example, a helmetless motorcycle rider or non-seat-belt-wearing driver
isn't.
I'm against (mildly) laws that mandate personal safety, like helmet and
seat-belt laws, but I'm in favor of laws that mandate public safety."
All of the actions I mentioned can cause the same harm to others as cell
phone usage. Where are you *really* drawing the line?
Some laws are unambiguous and enforceable, and some aren't. That's where
I draw the line.
