EVEN the recent increases in penalties for using mobiles whilst driving do not go far enough. They can be seen on a daily, even hourly basis, even on motorways.
I would suggest a £500 fine followed by an instant driving ban for a year and then compelled to have a retest. Tough, yes, but a better deterrent I think.
