Professor.Arturo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 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 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
