Using phone whilst driving

[Rick101]

This seems to be getting much much worse. It's been in force now for quite some time, maybe the effect of public shame is starting to wear off?

I do quite a few miles and I'll usually see someone either talking hand to ear or clearly doing something within their phone within a few miles of leaving my house. It's then a regular occurrence along my journey.

It used to be the odd person on the odd journey, now it's several people, every journey.

I know there are a few folk trying to get more focus on this and increased penalties but I think unless we have a big media and policing push this will only get worse.

The staring down at their lap bit gives it away time after time. While traffic has pulled away minutes before in front of them.

Having to hide the phone makes it worse if anything. The number of people who think it's OK to use the phone while stationary in traffic is amazing. Some people seem addicted.
