3,000 drivers caught using mobiles in first week

Good thing about ridin i'll never get caught playing with my phone heheh. I ride on the M1 at night a fair bit and the amount of people you see on their phone is astounding, i have even seen people with tablets watching movies as they drive.
 
There's a natty little sting in the tail, too. If passenger Mum looks at a pic on her phone, and holds it up for the driver to see... BING! Same deal.
 
Mobile phone use while driving = £200 and 6 points in the UK.

12 points or more in a 3 year period and you could be disqualified for 6 months.
 
Had a mate one time who had himself all wired up to take calls hands-free while riding. We discovered that despite all this electrickery, he couldn't see texts without stopping. So guess what we did????

Same. During the time frame i worked a midnight shift saw the glow from tablets a few times to many.
 

Interesting, here in NY, professional drivers lose their license for less points than a regular license does, also drinking limits are lower, even in your personal car, penalties are more severe.
 
Yeah, drinking strictly a no-no here for professionals, but I s'pose they give 'em the extra point because they're on the road much more....
