most people seem to ignore such {cell phone} bans anyway

Forget the government trying to force people not to use cell phones when driving. (Don't get me started on government.)
How about a simple solution?
Insurance companies shouldn't have to cover the cost of your accident if it's found you're on the phone at the time of the accident, or were on just prior to.
Simple and elegant?
I know that if I got that letter from my insurance company it would make an impression on me.
Think of it: insurance company lawyers would be sure to enforce that provision. They'd be on it far better than any "state revenue collection" agent (aka cop) — after all we know that with gubamint, it's all about revenue from radar traps, rather than safety.
I bet that "simple change" would change behavior.
IMHO
