Am I right in thinking that the police cannot act if a member of the public reports someone has used a phone while driving? I seem to think the police have to have witnessed it themselves, but correct me if I am wrong. If, however, I am right, I would like this changed so that the police have to follow up on complaints.

By the way, I have voted for increased fines and points, but I would like this to be vigorously enforced. I would vote for a ban when using a phone caused an accident.
