I know in California, any activity that is distracting away lots of attention of the driver from driving, even if the activity is legal, normal, eating, fun, a minor emergency, etc... is considered a Moving Violation ticket.
Figuring out devices, heated phone calls (hands-free included), BJ's, applying make-up, eating, air drumming or head banging to music, passenger tantrums, looking at an accident or garage sale or other spectacle, reading, etc.
edit:
Your last question...If for some reason a driver cannot handle a normal conversation during driving then it's a hazard.
Some of those examples are insane if people do that:
Are just crazy things to do.
A minor emergency, can’t really be helped. You should pull over as soon as it occurs.
Interesting they California is ticketing for some of these though, thanks for sharing.
