Stand up Adelaide, a very solid score here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOYO9sVDoNA There were some frequent flyers too, 3 drivers observed 19 times, 2 drivers 18 times, 1 got 16, and 4 got 15. $658 and 3 demerits after September 19. All the lane and braking driver AIDS will save people like this, so they can reproduce, while other drivers will just live with it's intrusiveness, or switch it off every time they get in the car.

$1209 in QLD (4 points) currently, and worth it to keep driver's attention where it should be.

Geez I have enough trouble navigating a bloody phone when I’m not driving.
 If you’re caught using a phone while driving you deserve every penalty that comes your way imho!

As all the accidents I have been involved in the last 20 year have involved idiots on mobile phones either running into the back of my car or running into the back of another car pushing it into mine while I was stopped at traffic lights or a stop or giveway sign, I'd like the police, in addition to imposing spot fines. given the power to seize and immediately crush any phones with the sims and memory cards inside in such cases. (something akin to a can crusher should do nicely). Like this:
 I think it would deter driver phone use more than the fines do.

Doing the rounds on the country roads out of town around here, it's from 80-100km/h and I watch oncoming traffic particularly the drivers these days. Not uncommon to see one or two staring down at a phone in a group of 10-20.
Point of impact would be 160-200km/h if they strayed lanes. I just don't understand what's so important to be head down into it while driving? It must be an addiction - reckon I'm addicted to online news and forum jokes, but this happens when I'm stationary!

These drivers are way too addicted to using their phones to stop even at risk of a fine.
If the phones were confiscated for a month, I reckon the rate of infringements would drop to almost zero.
