I constantly see people negotiating roundabouts and driving along country roads whilst holding their mobiles to their ears but what can we do about it? Until there are very strong penalties it will continue, also the fact there are very few police around people know they can get away with it.

I agree with tougher sentencing. These days with dash cams it’s getting easier to see who was at fault.

We always remember that moment life changed for ever, don’t we imperfect ? (((((hugs)))))

What indeed!? Perhaps car cameras would help too.

I'm so sorry about your daughters, including the one who survived (PSTD comes to mind), imp flowers

I think that is a right development.

My DD2 died after a reckless, speeding driver caused the driver of the car she was in to try to take evasive action. The car skidded, hit the central barrier and rolled over. DD1, also in the crash, remembers seeing the man on his mobile ... sped off into the distance and was never traced.

People still use their mobiles every day ... what does it take, one wonders, for the messages to get through? Hopefully tougher sentencing will be one step.
