While frustrating, there are some indications that society is implementing positive changes towards distracted driving. It seems similar to campaigns that have been made regarding littering on the highways and DIU. (Other examples of societal changes in my memory are smoking and attitudes towards picking up after one's pet.)
Below is a link to an article about RCMP officers in British Columbia using telescopes and cameras to detect distracted drivers from 1.2 kilometres (sic, eh?) away.

Mentioned near the end of the article is an announcement that a first-time distracted driving offense is going up to CAN $543. A second offense will cost CAN $888.
