I live in the uk and I think you will find that all dangerous driving could result in this action including drinking coffee if it can be proved it had a direct impact on your driving at the time.
The uk introduced a ban on using phones (unless they are handsfree)in cars over a year ago, the problem is that a lot of people ignore the ban and accidents are still happening. The law is just getting tougher.
Initially the ban annoyed me as I had been using my phone without issue, but a couple of months ago I passed my 19 year old daughter driving in her car clearly checking a sms and not looking at the road.
