The list gets bigger every week.
Any motorist caught using a mobile phone whilst driving
should be fined a minimum £1,000.00 and lose their licence
for at least 5 years.
The country needs to get tough on such individuals,
many van drivers seem to be on their phones when driving.
Drink and drug driving seems to be another problem on
the island.
Heavy fines and imprisonment is the only way to deal with
such people.
Re-open Camp Hill for such offenders.
It makes me sick that many motorists are inconsiderate to
other sensible law abiding motorists.
