all over the news today it is, police are everywhere, pinging people for 3 points and 60 pounds, thankyouverymuch

bet their enthusiasm will last all of a few days, and then it'll be back to how it was before, the occasional bored copper picking on someone whose face they dont like Rolling Eyes we know they cant spare the manpower to have people permanently sat at roadsides to police it, so why go so over the top on the first day, a joke our police forces are Neutral

Goose, I thought you'd be against that law, being a white van driver. They are /always/ on their damn phones! Laughing

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

New laws like this only encourage more lawbreaking, because everyone realises they are not being enforced.

If this law is not being enforced, maybe <insert law you don't like here> isn't either.....let's give it a go, eh?

They'll probably stay more active about catching phone users now that they pocket £60 for every one caught Wink
