That's the crux of the issue ,not educating people to drive safely and responsibly but to survive 5 mins without facebook or twitter

Neither of those are requirements for driving a car.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Any deterant which helps to save lives is a good thing. This day and age you need eyes in your rear end, what with 37 million vehicles on our roads which I my add will only get worst as time passes.

If only something existed that mean't we didn't need eyes in the back of our heads.
We could call it a myrer, no, a mirrah, no a mirraw.
Nope, i give up, it will never happen or catch on.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Penalties, Crimes can be as tough as they want to be.
it just needs a policeman (which we don't have any) to see it that makes it work.
that's why they say they're getting tough. to distract you from the fact that there aren't any policemen.
and to distract you from the dramatic increase in crime due to people noticing there are no police.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Lets put it this way.
I believe that there should be a total Ban on Mobiles in the vehicle, even hands free. As the law is such an ass. That there isn't anyone around to enforce it.
Since this news was brought out. I stood at the top of my road, and there was still drivers on the phone, and even Text messages.
What they courts should do is BAN ALL DRIVERS for two years if they get stopped.
The courts are governed by the Lord Chancellors office.
Remember, that the vehicle that we drive are KILLING MACHINES, and you only have to take your eyes of the road for a minute and BANG

It's not the vehicles that are dangerous it's the idiots in control of them.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Not just mobile phones - they guy in a Range Rover behind me this morning was rolling a cigarette at the steering wheel! Strange hows it's always big car drivers that are like this.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Apparently nearlly a third of all drivers admitted using their phone whilst driving (how on earth did they get this stat) from 37 million vehicle users.

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Because there are NO coppers about anymore, drivers will continue to use mobile phones.
The biggest invention that catches speeding drivers, could be to nick drivers - CCTV cameras.
Best invention out. There are so many cameras out there, the Law should use them

Re: Tougher penalties for using mobile phones when driving
Well there ARE cops out there just none enforcing that law.
Its not simple or easy to have people watching CCTV trying to see in cars. Think about it.
