It is a sad reflection about today's population that people believe that without their mobile phone it is just short of a disaster. I am one of those people that don't won't to be a statistic on the road as result of inattentive driver using a mobile phone, so with better detection and harsher the penalty the better. Qld has the right idea increasing fines to $1000 for anyone using a mobile phone. All they need to do as well is give them some of the same penalties that they give "hoon" drivers. Confiscation the phone for each offence with destruction after the 3rd offence.
Read an article in last week about what people fear. There was a tongue in cheek response that the youth of today biggest fear is a flat battery in their mobile phone.
