Any strategies to cope with the MI distracted driving law? (www.michigan.gov)

We're not allowed to touch our phone more than 1 tap when we're driving in Michigan.

I just got off of a 3 hour drive and realized I probably broke the law 10 times. I hate voice commands. Does anyone have a strategy for not being a total criminal while also staying entertained and/or productive during long communtes and trips?

Bluetooth has been standard in cars for almost 20 years depending on the manufacturer, you don't need extra equipment to handle calls that are actually emergencies. I'm not a fan of the law for different reasons, but people need to stop using phones while driving, you don't need to try and up productivity that aggressively.

If you're saying most cars have had Bluetooth for the past 20 years, that's absolutely wrong.
