Downunder here in the land of the hopping marsupials, it will cost you AU$500 plus 3 driver demerit points, to be even spotted with a mobile (cell) phone switched on, within reach of your arm.
Using mobile phones when driving is a sure-fire recipe for a crash, and the local Monarchs hammer this message mercilessly - and even send out police on motorcycles armed with head-mount cameras, to catch the devious drivers.

Woman distracted using mobile phone whilst driving, did not even notice police officer trying pull her over

I could well imagine the result of a Jaguar pilot being distracted for multiple seconds by something inside the cockpit, whilst travelling at ballistic speed at low level.
