If correct it is an absolute, absolute disgrace. However, allegedly the other party had some part in the accident as well.

I do a lot of miles and I see literally hundreds and hundreds of people on their phones and texting all the time. As a law, it has to be one of the least observed on the statute books and as such this would have been an opportunity to send a clear message to everyone that this behaviour is dangerous and could result in killing people

This is being discussed in detail in the "Bad News Britain" thread.

I am sure it deserves it's own thread, it is quite a serious situation that is being hidden away by the media!
