50. However, in this whole discussion,

is what doesn't seem to be getting through to you, that better drivers would eliminate the need for any kind of jamming system. Such a device would have to be implemented and mandated by the government (local, state, federal), it would require a cost to the owner (that many would balk at), it would then have to be tested annually to make sure people haven't disconnected it, and that cost would come back to us to pay.

Why not instead improve the driver's education classes, and mandate that all who get a ticket, for any reason, have to take remedial and updated driver's ed classes? And for those that want a discount on their insurance, people could upgrade their driving skills. All of that could be done on a track so that people could be put into real-world emergency situations and they have to react to them, including the hazards of distracted driving while on a phone. Get people's hearts pumping due to such hazards without endangering their lives, and they just might learn enough to stop that behavior.
