Being retired and the sad bastard that I am, what if I stood at a road junction with a Camera and photographed every car, van , lorry driver I observed using a mobile phone. Good clear photo of them and in the same photo got the reg number. Must be some way you could get them prosecuted and get cut of the money they were fined? Failing that you could find out were the fecker lived and just black mail them, thoughts please.
I've been thinking similar thoughts myself for some years now, but not 'diy'. Two police officers, one plain clothed and equipped with a decent digital camera standing at the side of a busy road, the second in a pull-in area a hundred yards further on to book and ticket 'phone/device using drivers. The revenue would be massive. The only problem I can foresee is the queue of caught drivers backing up onto the road...
It is my opinion that the fine should be £1000 and six points, no more, no less, no ecxceptions i.e. a decent deterrent.
is it clean enough?
