Use of mobile phones whilst driving
There's a very disturbing report from the RAC (see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54448476) to the effect that the very dangerous (and of course illegal) use of mobile phones whilst driving is rising and is at its highest level since 2016.Furthermore, the RAC says that younger drivers are more than twice as likely to say they make or receive video calls while driving, and almost one in 10 drivers aged 17-24 say they play games on their phones while doingso. One 24-year-old interviewed admitted that he's happy to use his phone whilst driving, adding that "everyone does it," though he admits that he'd feel guilty if he was on a call and had an accident. A bit late then, though, isn't it? If he's killed someone, his guilt won't bring them back to life.It's time that using mobile whilst driving was treated with as much disdain and concern as drink driving.
