Nice to see the police are now putting unmarked cars on the roads in an effort to catch these menaces that continue to use hand held mobile phones.
I'm of the opinion that the 6 pts and a fine still doesn't go far enough to persuade drivers not to use them. I'd like to see the threat of the car being crushed as a deterrent, but that won't stop white van man.
As both a driver and pedestrian it really angers me when I see them blabbing away totally unconcerned about breaking the law.
As for hands free, that's another scenario for another thread maybe.
Do you think the law is about right with 6pts and a fine or should it be instant disqualification and treated the same as drink/drug driving?
