Mobile phone detectors are to be used by police to find drivers using
devices at the wheel.

The Thames Valley and Hampshire forces are rolling out the
technology to
show when motorists are using their phones.

A sign will flash at the driver telling them to stop using their mobile
- but the detectors cannot tell if it is a driver or passenger using
the
phone.

The detector picks up 2G, 3G and 4G signals and will therefore flash to
alert people in cars who are using phones to call, text or data.

If people are using a Bluetooth hands-free device, the detector will
recognise this and not flash.

If it stops just one death, it has to be a good thing.

that's a great idea.

Drivers using cell phones are as distracted as drunk drivers.
Glad you can see the sense in it.

There is no sense in it when it can't even work out if the driver
is using it or a passenger is. And its a bare faced pig ignorant
lie that using a phone is as bad as being a drunk driver.

The evidence defeats your claim.
