From November 1st, 2009 it will be illegal to use a cellphone while driving unless it is hands free. Hands free does not mean you can sit a phone on your lap and turn the loudspeaker on as the phone must be secured in cradle.
This law is long overdue and hopefully everyone will play their part in enforcing it, especially if you see those morons who txt while they are driving.
Anyway, the new law will effect employment contracts so Employers Assistance have developed some suitable wording for inclusion in your contract. You can download the content HERE!
I want see that when people talk on mobile then what is the reaction of the police how they tackle it.
Will be interesting to see what happens when the law comes in. I reckon many people will still talk and text while driving.
The simplest answer for the Police would be just confiscate the phone, with sim card, for at least a month or forever. That would make an impact on the problem. No fine, no de-merit points.
