Further South in Oz, Tasmania has just upped the fine for using a hand held mobile phone whist driving. There is talk now of banning hands free as well. There is no doubt that talking on the phone does distract your full attention away from driving.
A very vigorous TV, Radio and newspaper campaign is being held to publicise the danger and the increased penalty.
