I find it helps if people aren't texting when they are driving. Driving a lorry I've got a good vantage point into a lot of cars and the number of drivers I see with the phone in one hand and then gear stick in the other is unreal. That short couple of seconds of taking the eyes of the road is all it takes for nothing to become something on the road. I'd heard there are plans to increase the penalty from 3 to 6 points. It will only work if it's enforced. I think it should be treated the same as drink driving, automatic ban

I want to see how they handle the changes to road tax as from next month you don't have to display the disc (they can check on the computer if you have paid for the tax though)
