Wind might distract you. And if it rains? Automatic driving-ban in place immediately, all cars must be stopped where they are and must not start moving again until the road is dry.
Simple solutions. Really.

Particularly the having a conversation with others in the car thing rings true to rumours of banning even handsfree mobile phone conversations because they're a distraction.
However as a general rule, I've found other road users to be a distraction too. Maybe a one car per road limit.
Edit: Jedi- I remember reading about one woman in the US of A who couldn't really deny it. She rolled her van. In the roll she severed part of her arm. They found the section of her arm/hand still holding the mobile phone. I wish that was a joke.
