Rather than do it now, I think they know by that time people will be in such a habit that they can collect more revenue by giving tickets.

One handed cell phone driving is not the problem. Several studies have shown the problem is people are too involved in and distracted with their telephone conversation to drive well. There was no difference in accident avoidance between hands free and non-hand free cell phone users. Basically, all it means is whether you would like to be rear ended by a person with one or two hands on the wheel.
I was almost rear ended last week with some dumb*ss on his hands free cell phone. I saw the ear piece, changed lanes, and opened my window to signal him by. He got the message, as his driving improved dramatically after that.
Of course, we have bunch of stupid legislators in California who complain about the lack of science instruction in the schools, but heaven forbid that these idiots would ever look at a scientific study before making legislative decisions.
You want to fix the problem? Ban cell phone use.
