im always seeing idiots using thier phone, one nearly crashed into us, and yes it was a stupid woman!!

do these people realise how dangerous it is,?.....I guess not!

tougher laws are needed!!
During its term of office (although TB always referred to it as “in power”) this government has launched hundreds of new laws. One being the use of mobile phone law whilst driving but didn’t provide the resources to enforce it. Hence drivers take a gamble and in the main get away with it.

It is not so much tougher laws that are needed but the means of enforcing them without taking those resources away from something else.
