QUOTE:
"Motorists caught using their mobile phones at the wheel face a fine of £150 as part of a Government crackdown on dangerous driving. The Government's new road safety plan comes after a spate of cyclist deaths prompted concern over lorry drivers who continue to flout the law. Penalty points for truck drivers caught using their phones will now double in a bid to prevent more deaths on roads." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-150-fine.html |
