I am just absolutely lost for words.........WTF is this country coming to?

I'm amazed that he actually managed to encounter a traffic officer! They are about as common as Dodo's where I travel. Everything has been devolved to the camera to police.

Maybe we will have new Police camera's to monitor certain other behavioral aspects whilst we drive. Maybe a tariff of fines for yawning, sneezing, crying, smiling and the big one laughing!

Ludicrous!

Hopefully it'll get laughed out of court....

Next it will be sneezing, then coughing

No more coffee while your driving, no internet access, no mobile, no smoking, no shaving, not reading the map.

I might as well stay at home.

I've always thought taking one hand off the wheel to change gear should be an offence. Clearly you're not in full control of the car. Having a passenger is also risky unless they sign a commitment not to distract you by talking, moving, breathing loudly, coughing, farting (especially dangerous if it results in any giggling!) etc.

I'm surprised when people take stories like these at face value.

I don't

I was forced off of the road by a lorry driver reading his map across the steering wheel and failing to notice he was on the wrong side of the road. You stay at home please.
