Why can't cars be fitted with a device that disables a mobile phone when the engine is switched on?

Why not a device that makes the driver take a breathalyser test before you can start the engine. 

They exist, from what little I know about them they are shaky in terms of calibration and reliability. Not an awful idea though 

Oxfords coach had one of these fitted and apparently due to all the alcohol gel and cleaner. Players had to drive themselves and get cabs 

Truly what would help is money for actual traffic cops being out and about being proactive rather than reactive only. Standards of driving are loads worse now than 20 years ago for all the speed cameras in the world they don't address dangerous, ignorant driving
