Having just narrowly avoided being squashed by a van driver more intent on chatting on his phone than concentrating on his driving I again wonder why the Police just dont seem interested in taking action on drivers openly breaking the law?

I really am puzzled.

I'm sure we all see it day in, day out - loads of people texting and chatting whilst driving.

Go on YouTube and you'll find loads of videos showing near misses with drivers using phones too.

If nothing else it would be such a money maker with all the fines that could be issued.

I guess one day it'll become as socially unacceptable as driving without a seatbelt and drink driving?
