We all know that talking and texting while driving is a distraction and can result in crashing. Victoria has increased the penalties but are the penalties hard enough? This government is good at making people think that they care about road safety if they really did they would get tougher on drivers putting road users at risk by using their mobile phones illegally.
I think that if we really want to reduce drivers from using their phones and making it dangerous for other road users they would impose an impound for first offence for 7 days.
The idea is that your phone would be impounded at the local police station where you a caught then you collect it from there in 7 days and pay an impound fee.
As we all know that most of us have smart phones and our lives are in these phones all of our contacts, Facebook and twitter just to name a few things that we use our phones for. Imagine not having it for a week and not being able to call anyone check any news feeds or check emails.
I think that this would give offenders something to think about and would more likely not to do it again and making our roads safer.
