Only way to stop people doing it completely, is to give them a lifetime ban from ever driving again. If that were to be enforced these inconsiderate motorists would think twice before breaking the law. Using a mobile while driving is like holding a gun in your hand.

You will never stop idiots Charlie, 6pts is a small price to pay for sending a text, it's the same with all these types of drivers, I've won't get caught syndrome.

They need to spend longer doing it instead of a short period of time. From first thing in the morning, on school run, throughout the day I constantly see people using the phone when driving and not discreetly either!!!

Have these idiots not heard of hands free devices? Cheaper than the fine they will receive.

It should be made as unacceptable as drink driving with the same punishment because its obvious the point is not getting across.
