Anyone caught "Texting" here in the UK, will be in BIG trouble, 6 points and big fines and if they cause an accident could be a prison sentence. How can this be allowed?.  |
It's not allowed here either but it happens very often. I guess it's because is very difficult for the authorities to monitor and in the event of an accident it would be difficult to prove that texting was the cause. It's becoming a real problem.
