So bad you posted it twice.
Have a look at this horror clip of a driver on their phone. The guy should never be allowed out of prison again!

About time they treated it the same as drink driving and started dishing out bans.
They could make it so that you are shot at dawn if caught driving whilst on the phone but most people would still do it because they all know the chances of getting caught are statistically miniscule.
I ride a motorcycle so am able to look down into cars and filter through traffic a lot and it's staggering how many people think it's acceptable to use their phone while driving. No excuse whatsoever for doing it - so much stiffer penalties I think are entirely acceptable for something so unnecessary and so dangerous.
So many drivers think that it's not obvious to others that they're on their phones.
One hand on the wheel, the other strangely out of site, and far too many glances down considering they should be concentrating on the road ahead and all around.
I spot them every day, its just a shame there's not more police around to spot them aswell.
Anyone caught, should face an instant 3 month ban and have to retake their test. Like PhyllisStant, I also ride a motorbike and see it far too often and it seems a lot of young female drivers use their phones. Some of them may not actually be on the phone but have them permanently in their hands, which is an offence. The WG talking shop is bringing in 20 mph speed limits but what’s the point when there’s nobody to enforce the 30 mph limit. There are plenty of hands free kits available from £25-50 and a lot of modern cars can be set up through the media system.
Can we add morons who use phones whilst riding down main roads (or any road really) on bikes to the list of people who need to be penalised? Especially any with headphones on, the daft sods. They're not as much a danger to other people as to themselves, but can easily cause accidents.
i am a long distance hgv driver and every day ,many times a day i look down as drivers pass you will never believe how bad it is . it's insane.
Very rare, 1 in 300, motorists probably 1 in 5, I agree with above most oftn young and most often women, and they're not talking they are texting and checking social media.
Definately need to start banning in order to stop it, treat it like drink driving, it's potentially more dangerous.
I agree. I went to Tesco the other day to buy a bottle of Gin. I went on my bike and when I came out of the store I was worried that I might fall of my bike on the way home and smash the bottle of gin.
So I drank the gin first.
It was just as well I did because I fell off my bike 7 times on the way home!!
