I spotted a mobile phone and seat belt camera based at Toddington services northbound. Its based at the exit of the services and looks like a yellow generator with a T shapeed metal pole. Its new technology that was tested in devon area on the back of a van and now its being used for real. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nLpVwG2vtmQvjM6xDsTLyb-1200-80.jpg .

I bet you’re one of those who have a skinful on a night at the truckstop bar, staggering back to your lorry at midnight and then see nothing wrong in climbing back into the driving seat at 4-5am.

no way youre very mistaken,im not a drinker. its surprising how many are tho,whenever i read of a driver mentioning alcohol and how he knows his limit i think uh oh another alcey . i knew an ex army driver down at the docks hed managed to work his job around his drinking [dont they all?]but got caught out driving home when he had a tiff with a woman and as he left she reported him.
I have mixed feelings about this, on one hand mobile phone use is an absolute scourge, got knocked off my motorbike and hospitalized by some ditsy bint on her phone a while back. If the argument is it’s as dangerous as drink driving it should be treated as such, no fannying about with points & fines, instant ban. Its amazing how many people you see brazenly driving swerving all over the place as they’re texting away, and there’s never a cop around when you want one. On the other I’m totally sick of the surveillance state we live in. No seat belt I’m less worried about, I think its stupid to not wear one and don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to, but at least you’re only going to kill yourself not wearing one.

Killing yourself is one thing but someone has to shovel you into a body bag and that is not nice. And if you don’t succeed in killing yourself but only make yourself into a paraplegic then the expense to the NHS and the stress on your family is unforgivable.
