IMO - if you make it against the law for people to drive and call, or drive and text - yes, TEXT - some fruitloops in this country think that's okay! - then if you catch them you are already catching dangerous drivers.

I'm not being holier than thou, but I saw some dreadful driving practices towards other drivers when I had a car, and have obversed many more that put cyclists & pedestrians at risk (I am sure we have FAR more pedestrians here in this country) since not driving.

My Mum admitted seeing my sister driving and texting. I was so shocked. My MUM who gave me a dressing down today about going to an appointment a day too early (why didn't you check? you could have been a day too late and then where would you be? put them on the calendar in future! I suppose I have to check up on you like I do your Dad etc etc) let her older daughter drive and read and send texts.

There was a recent report that said driving and texting was more hazerdous than drinking and driving. I believe it. I'm sure I'll be shouted down, but personally I think if you love your children, you'll concentrate on the road.
