I’ll be honest though, i’m all for punishing the people looking at their phone whilst driving, but I can’t sit here and say that people deserve 6 points on their license for sending a text message in a stationary traffic jam. There needs to be a bit of discretion.
That is just crap policing though, same as when the nick some poor sod eating an apple in a traffic jam, they are failing in doing their job properly.
The ones who annoy me more than some who are driving with phone held to ear; are those who decide to try and follow the law but stop in a really stupid place to faff with their phones, on a blind summit, half way round a bend - I even seen one a while a back who had mounted the pavement half way round a roundabout to play with her phone (she had not broke down). These muppets are even more dangerous but I don’t know if the police target these even though it is still an offence.
