Actually, there is no shortage of "awareness", at all. It's widely known that it's dangerous, irresponsible, unnecessary, stupid, and illegal. The problem is that huge segments of society have an abundance of a near-sociopathic lack of concern for anyone else, and complete disregard for authority and laws.
The only thing that seems to even remotely get the attention of the phone junkies, is when their local law enforcement starts cracking down in a big way. But even then, people just try and be more carfely about getting caught, but I'd don;t believe anything is going to curb what is clearly a full-blown addiction.
I agree that the current laws have very little effect on cell phone usage. The cost of enforcing our current laws keeps enforcement down. Nobody is serious about enforcing the law so these crimes not accidents will continue.
