The biggest invention that catches speeding drivers, could be to nick drivers - CCTV cameras.

Best invention out. There are so many cameras out there, the Law should use them

There are plenty of coppers out there but their job isn't solely to catch people using mobile phones ,they will have a crack down on phones for a couple of months and then move on to seat belts or child seats ,this is how it's always been done and how it will continue to be done

Idiot jumped a red light today. the woman pushing her baby in a pram noticed he wasn't stopping so she didn't cross. turns out he was on his mobile and didn't notice the red light.

Apparently the number using phones while driving has dropped.

Load of cobblers, there's more than ever. The real reason is that there less traffic cops than ever before (well done Dave and George). Those that are there can't be bothered as its too difficult to prosecute. White van man certainly seems to be exempt from this law.

Crush the cars (and phones) of offenders, forget points.

You're reading it wrong.
it is true that fewer people have been caught. because there's no police.

it's true that more people are doing it.
because there's no police.

I think a lot of people using mobile phones are making believe they don't give a fig. are hard. are not scraed of being caught.

obviously until the moment they do give a fig. they're not hard and are given a fine and points.

we all know that they panic when they see the police and that it's all a front in the way they seem to go out of their way of cruising slowly making it obvious that they are using their phone.

pussies really. purrrrr
