A lethal injection would be going a tad too far, I suppose. |

unless the user is really clueless everything about their phone will be backed up so that in the even of loss/theft a replacement phone can swiftly be setup. There are in any cas 101 firms offereing deals on data backup. |

How about confiscating their phone and wiping the data, bet they would think twice then! :-P |

I wonder how much difference it will make. Every time we got out in the car we see people talking on the phone. It's endemic. |

If I see the person behind me is using a phone I slow right down - I damaged the back end of my car slightly and I'd like someone to drive into me so I can make them pay for the repair :-D :-D :-D |

£1000 fine and a ten year driving ban ,then a £500 fee re-sit......that would make some think twice,a nice cross to bear. |

Driving while using mobiles is a real crime, people die, most often at the hands of the person using the phone, and totally innocent. |

Precisely Ann, my sentiments exactly. I personally would stop any drinking and driving too.One drink can affect some people, me being one. If I blew below limit I would still consider myself unsafe to drive. I never ever drink at all if I am driving as I would never forgive myself if I caused harm to anyone else in a RTA |

The police should set up Cameras to catch them |

I can remember how the engine used to interfere with the radio in my vehicles of old until a suppressor had been fitted and wonder if it might be possible to make an engine that is running interfere with mobile phone signals. |

but people driving whilst on the phone don't just hurt people - they very often kill them |

yeah , well "these people" are half the population for just talking on the phone and a third apparently manage to text as well. I got an earful the other day when I suggested a lot of people were thoughtless ... using a mobile when driving for instance. |

well with the potential revenue they are very likely to reap they could afford to employ officers just to catch mobile phone users!! |

Trouble is that there just aren't enough police on the roads to catch all those who use their phones. Same with the ban on smoking in a car if there are people under 18 in the car. How on earth they can implement this law fully I have no idea. |

What I have particularly disliked is the blatant disregard for the law these people have shown. Should I choose to disregard any laws regarding theft, would it be alright for me to go into their house and take their television? |
