We'd ban more than just mobile phones when driving!

What else should be banned from use while driving?

Using mobile phones while we are driving is now banned. Honestly, it was a good move but it's not really effective. There are not enough Police about to deal with most crimes. I can't remember the last time I saw a Police Car pull someone over, except on Facebook!

The more I see while out instructing every day, the more I think everybody has lost their minds with what's acceptable behind the wheel of a car. I see so many people face-timing each other and driving at the same time!!! The number of people I see sitting at Traffic Lights scrolling through social media is ridiculous. As drivers we need to take responsibility, but we are quickly getting to a point where we can't be trusted to make rational decisions about our own safety then those decisions will be taken away from us. Who drives a car with a Dog on their lap??? You wouldn't with a toddler so why would you with a dog bouncing around like a lunatic with it's head out the window!

We are at a point where car manufacturers will have to start fitting signal blockers in cars to stop phone use. Points on your license doesn't seem to be much of a warning.

To finish off there is another thing that I think needs serious consideration with regards to road safety.

Pedestrians using phones and headphones. Why is the responsibility put on the driver? If you're glued to your phone or listening to music you are as responsible for your safety as a driver is. Pay attention to your surroundings.
