OFF Topic - Nutty Norfolk

They have Norfolking idea.

While there are merits to it in stopping dickheads using none hands free, it's not exactly accurate.

Imagine the School buses going past, how many illegal handsets.....


it is however paid by those bad people speeding.

Utter bollox. They won't be able to enforce it. It certainly will not lead to the introduction of a camera system either.

There are cars with trackers and onboard technology that uses gsm and gprs. Also you can legally have your phone connected to the cars handfree system and be using it.
All the above things will trigger their cock and bull technology.

This seems like a scaremongering journalist who didn't have anything better to write.

“It does have its limitations, for example pedestrians walking along using their mobile phones will set it off".

Meanwhile, you can drive at 60mph through a town centre red light and no-one bats an eyelid.

Funnily enough when I read the 'article' ( and I use that word loosely) I checked as well.

It's a complete utter waste of cash, I would sooner they donated the money to something worthwhile.

Glad NCC have the time, resource and money to waste on it. They don't have the time, resource or money for anything else. Muppets.

There was a car (or cars) nearby with maybe several people in them when a phone signal was detected kind of nearby. And on that basis we'll fine the drivers in the name of road safety just in case it was one of them. Sounds watertight...nope can't see anyway of challenging that one.

It will never get H.O. Approvals.
