Using Mobile Phones whilst Driving
According to this piece on the BBC, the police are cracking down on people, who use their mobile phone whilst driving.
Edward King was on and e told how an AA man, had said the only punishment needed was to lose your phone number, so you’d have to get another.
What a simple idea! Often the simple ideas are the best.
I’m certain it would work well.

I have long thought that the simplest cure would be to give police power to confiscate the phone. Even to a techno-numpty like me my cellphone is more than just a means of communication.

You don’t take away the phone. You just cancel the number. Once cancelled it can’t be used again. As it would cause so much hassle, you wouldn’t do it again.

Probably, But have you ever changed your mobile number? It causes all sorts of surprising inconveniences.
Im think it should apply to anyone convicted of certain motoring offences and any criminal ones.
