programme on BBC1 at 9.30 tonight re enforced the sense of this. Young woman of 23 killed outright when a 7ton wagon slammed into back of her as she waited in a traffic jam. Car was crushed beyond recognition & was finally found that driver of wagon had been fiddling with his mobile when he hit her at 60mph. He finally admitted use of phone in court & was jailed for 4 years & banned from driving for 7 years. Yet police officer who had to identify her from remains & then go & break news to her family had to stop & tick off a woman driver on same motorway while driving back to scene after delivering news to family. Her ears should stil be ringing now & rightly so. Hands free dont cost the £1 million it costs in the aftermath of a fatal accident!
