I am sure everybody here does things they shouldn't, looking at something else, opening some food packet, changing radio station, getting their lipstick from the glovebox etc One min you could be opening a Turkish Delight in the car, the next your opening a £1000 fine letter because someone caught you on camera. Let people get on with it?
I think the lines are clear, you report the actions that are dangerous and ignore those that are not unless they break the traffic laws.
Is putting on lipstick when driving dangerous? Hell yeah! You have to look in the mirror to do that.
Is putting on lipstick dangerous while sitting in a traffic queue and not moving? No and I wouldn't report it.
The difference between putting on lipstick and a mobile phone user is that the law is clear: you must not use a mobile hand held device whilst you are in charge of a vehicle on the road.
