Phone laws 'ignored' by drivers

A total of 942 motorists were prosecuted in Lancashire between February and May!!

Not only stupid women use their mobiles whilst driving, I see loads of male delivery drivers using them. most of the time the police don't do anything about it.

gotta say dont think this laws made a blind bit of differance, see many daily n would say in fairness mostly men, that to me says 1 thing only- the penalties not severe enough.

ban them!and make them pay more on insurance if they get caught like they do with drink drivers.but i think drink drivers shud be banned 4 life,

Superglue coconuts to their ears (hollowed out and halved, not whole ones), so we can easily identify them, plus they won't be able to use their phones anyway because they won't be able to hear.:D

its the fact that ppl know that the police aint gonna waste their time unless specifically designated on the task on stoppin some guy on his fone and then having to deal with the paperwork

i was stating it was a stupid woman, not, its only stupid women!;)

I was getting a lift home from a police man a while ago in his nice blue van when he saw someone speaking on the phone whilst driving - he screeched the van to stop and pointing at the driver said, 'three points and a fine, get out' - at which point I had to leap out of the van whilst he spun it round to chase the offending person.

Up until that point I didn't think they were really bothered about enforcing this law.

We have had seat belt laws for just short of 25 years now and that law is often blatantly broken and the police do very lttle.

Re: Phone laws 'ignored' by drivers
 

thats true,but you aint much chance of killing/maiming innocent people with not wearing a seatbelt. using a mobile is far more dangerous to the public.;)

Re: Phone laws 'ignored' by drivers
 

Fair point but I suggest those who have total disregard for the seat belt law are also the ones likely to be using a mobile phone and drivng at twice the speed limit.

Re: Phone laws 'ignored' by drivers
 

There is never any enforcement. I'd advocate taking the step of confiscating the phone - the message would get through pretty quickly.

Re: Phone laws 'ignored' by drivers
 

you may be incorrect there mate i dont use a mobile.;)
