Well said Terry,couldn't agree more...where is the consideration
for other road users? All too lacking these days...
There have been recent studies that suggest that yacking on your
mobile phone whilst driving is more dangerous to other road users
than driving at or slightly above the legal limit for alchohol
consumption....let alone the FWs that DIAL whilst driving!That
really sh*ts me...

Normally I despise any new legislation but here is a case where I'd
welcome the introduction of penalties on par with drink driving.
(yes I too own a mob.ph but it's only for emergencies or when away from
civilization)
