Some interesting statistics from the Department of Transport report that 21% of drivers admit to breaking the law which prohibits drivers from talking on a hand held phone whilst driving.

Another survey by Direct Line, suggested that one million people were breaking the law at any one time. Drivers in Cardiff, Newcastle and Southampton are the worst offenders (or the most honest in admiting their crimes!)

The road safety minister, Dr Ladyman told GMTV this morning:

We have been working with the constabularies around the
country, we chose the timing of today with them, so that they are ready
to help us enforce it.
