It's not that, it is difficult to police and the cost prohibitive.
Either they think they need another "sus" law - or they haven't thought it through clearly. Probably the latter.
What next, no talking to your passenger, no listening to the radio?

Dead cheap to implement as it's all done by cameras and AI.
All those MP's giving the slightest bit of support to this need hauling before the public and stripping of their assets and position as a lesson to the rest of them that we won't put up with much more of their fucking us about like this.

All that can identify is someone talking, not who or what they are talking to. Of course live monitoring of all phone calls could overcome that problem.

You can buy hand held Cell phone zappers. So there is the technology out there.

Because jamming signals without the necessary permission is illegal. I went to a call out to a caravan site once that was in a very bad signal area but I got a lock a few metres away from the property. Reported it to OFCOM and next door had a signal jammer running just to piss him off
People like shit in the car, fucking great screens that integrate with your phone and use a touch interface, no more fiddling with knobs or rummaging under your seat for the lost cassette.
It's unenforceable and will only be used to gain charges for potential traffic offences.
My phone is on all day and broadcasts LBC to me through a speaker (I don't use the built in system) and my phone is set up to only use the phone speaker for calls, therefore I have to hold it to my head to talk into it which I only do when stopped. However, the use of my phone as a distraction if in an accident, could be argued if I was listening to an app or using Waze under these proposed laws. They have to pay for those new prisons somehow...
