Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving

I'm all for the penalties being the same as drink driving as many tests have shown it to be as detrimental to the ability to safely drive.

If we want a technical solution: Most smart phones have GPS and so can detect if they are moving. Block the calls/texts/browsing etc if the phone is moving too fast. I realise this would impact passengers and those using public transport but a bit of disconnected time would be good for many.
