Jeremy Clarkson unleashed a furious rant ahead of the new Highway Code rules, coming into place at midnight tonight.
The new rules affect the way drivers listen to music in their car.
If a motorist is caught changing a song, they risk an immediate £200 fine for scrolling or tapping on their phone while driving.
The Department of Transport has said that these laws are being strengthened in order to make it easier to prosecute drivers using phones behind the wheel.
However after hearing the proposed changes former Top Gear host Jeremy, 61, suggested the people responsible for the new rules were "mad".
He said: “Seriously? If your random playlist decides to fill the car with Arctic Monkey noises and you really aren’t in the mood, you are no longer allowed to swipe the screen to make it stop.
"Are the people who write these laws mad? Because almost all human beings are capable of doing two things at the same time," he told The Sun.
He also joked that if men can read newspapers on the loo and women can “have sex while thinking about Brad Pitt”, why can't drivers “change a music track in a traffic jam?”
The outspoken star was up in arms recently when his plans for a restaurant at Diddly Squat Farm were thrown out by the council.
There has been a long-running feud between the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire host and his neighbours, who have disagreed with the way Jeremy wants to carve up his land.
The Grand Tour presenter faced an angry backlash from local residents over his ambition to expand the farm with more than 50 objections registered with the council.
Jeremy went to a meeting of West Oxon District Council to make a plea to councillors to back his plans - but he needn't have bothered.
A total of 53 objections were received by the council, with another 12 letters of support.
Councillors at the meeting supported the planners' recommendation to refuse permission on the grounds the restaurant would be "out of keeping" with the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Council planning officer Joan Desmond stated: “By reason of its design, scale, siting and nature of the use within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the proposed development would have a visually intrusive and harmful impact on the rural character, scenic beauty and tranquillity of the area."
