Mobiles and driving

[Professor.Arturo]

Its my opinion that anyone being caught using a mobile phone while driving should face the same penalties as a drunk driver, its just as dangerous as they are not in control of their vehicle.

 

Heavy fine and an automatic 12 month ban, for first offence. Longer ban and possible re-sit for second offence.

 

3 poxy points does not deter these morons.

[Therapist]

Automatic 6 month ban for first offence.

 

2 year ban and retest if caught again.

 

Lifetime ban if caught for the third time.

 

Absolutely no need to use a handheld mobile while driving. :mad:

Whilst I agree that driving whilst using a mobile is out of order, I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as driving whilst drunk.

[PortyJambo]

I'm the one that's voted "current penalties are sufficient".

 

Yes, it's wrong and, yes, it should be punished, but it's nowhere near on the same level as drunk-driving.

[Pete Seeger]

Where's the slap on the wrist and be on your way option? I vote for it.
