Should the same laws regarding mobile phones and driving apply to people driving a horse and carriage?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian judge has thrown out a case against a man caught using a mobile phone while driving a horse and carriage, saying police who brought the charges 'look a bit silly'. Melbourne's Magistrates Court heard that a police car with flashing lights pulled over coachman Dean Crichton as his horse-drawn carriage was travelling at about four km an hour (two mph) down a major Melbourne street in May. The Herald Sun newspaper said police breath-tested Crichton for alcohol after he was caught with a phone in one hand and the reins in the other as he drove tourists in his two-horse carriage. It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving in most states in Australia...
