Listening to the radio is passive. They've been in cars for decades without any real controversy.

It was "proven" in the 70s and 80s that radios made drivers far more likely to have an accident than those who did not, as well as decreasing the likelihood of response to emergency vechicles (can't hear them). Your argument that radios are passive is a good one, but phones are as well. You can just as easily stop listening to a phone as you can a radio in an emergency situtation. Its about the driver, NOT the device. Banning them will solve nothing (other than padding local municipalities budget).
