    afaik itheir already banned, it just means you'll now get points if your caught now

    The ban applies to holding a handset, but a ear peice or car-kit is fine afaik,

    imho its a total joke seeing the amount of people driving around talking away on phones not paying attention to their driving.

    Phones are the least of the problems .. the number of drivers who just aren't paying attention full stop is what's worryings.

    Its about time the ban came in though. Especially at night, i've been driving behind people and they are all over the road, its almost like they have been drinking and I pass them out to see that they are simply on the phone. People don't realise just how much of their concentration is taken up by talking on the phone while driving!!
