Using mobile phone when driving

[darrsi]

and that's the issue darrsi

the law says if you're distracted (e.g. using a mobile) then you're liable to be fined or worse if causing an accident, what makes the Police barley....other than legislation.....they're still human and can be distracted (not having a pop at the Police here......but this shows how out of touch the judiciary/Gvnt are)

there's no if and buts in law.....its black and white (before you start I know there's grey areas in law) you're either distracted or you're not

I don't disagree with you at all.
The police make mistakes, and will in a lot of cases take full responsibility instantly.
More so with things like driving on the the wrong side of the road, going through red lights, etc.
They still need to drive with absolute  due care and and attention,  and sometimes they get it wrong, and whoever they cause issues to need to be rightfully compensated without question.
It IS a grey area to the point where if it was you in trouble you'd like to think that any services would go all out to get to you asap though.
