WHAT more can we possibly do to educate drivers of the dangers of using a mobile phone while behind the wheel?

On Monday, I witnessed the driver of a tipper truck getting into the vehicle while on the phone, before starting the engine, proceeding past a school entrance, turning into a side road and reversing back onto the road – talking on his phone all the time.

We know the police are too busy to get involved so you contact the company concerned, who will not even confirm if it is their vehicle.

Yet they claim professionalism in every aspect of their work and also take a proactive and rigorous approach to health and safety.

If the job entails contact with their depot, the companies should be made, by law, to install hands-free mobile phones and ban personal phones from being carried.
