It's all a load of bollox. They could bring back hanging as a punishment for using your phone while driving, but if there are no coppers on the road to catch anyone, people will carry on regardless.

I was behind a car on the M4 this afternoon that was all over the place, going over the lines a few times before suddenly swerving back into lane. When I overtook the car there was a young woman driving, she had a couple of kids in baby seats in her car, and was fiddling with her phone, sending a text or whatever.

And I'm sure we've all seen this, I do on a daily basis. But you just can't do anything about it.
