I've seen a good number of ad's on the local TV telling drivers to keep there hands off their mobile phones, especially texting.... be prepared

Check this UK TV Ad and the background on it...

Pretty standard viewing for anyone who went to high school in the 60s.... I think they called the series Signal 40 ,, or something like that.. I believe it was US cop code for a fatal accident.

Someone decided that sitting us down to watch gory films would make us behave behind the wheel.

Fat chance when the alternative was drifting a mini through the Kiama curves at speeds that would give us the willies today,,, and probably see you locked up for some time :shock:

Cheers, Ian
