If you can't do that tough - if you do the CRIME pay the fine

 

Not want to pay a fine - don't break the Law - simple

 

ALL mobile phone use should be a crime for a driver - including handsfree

I agree, especially about using hand held phones which have been the cause of many accidents and deaths. I often see people driving with a mobile phone to their ear and it makes me mad.

Just a Q - why are handsfree sets dangerous?  I don't have one so I don't know how they work.

If it is because you have to press a button, then how is that different from turning on a radio/CD, changing a CD, altering heating controls etc. ? 

If it's because you are talking to someone and might not be concentrating, then how is that different from talking to a passenger, or having noisy kids in a car?

I imagine that handsfree sets are very useful to some people like self-employed taxi drivers.
