Ok Dyzza don't get me wrong. I agree with most of the new implemented laws. SMSing while driving is just plain stupid... as is putting on makeup. CD changing i can also understand being banned. I also know people do it and crashes may end up resulting in it. But if i get fined for driving along, sipping on an ice coffee, then putting it back into the centre console, thats getting a bit ridiculous! I totally agree the need to get tougher on speeding, drink driving, driving without due care, ect...... but I'm not exactly a threat when I'm drinking in my car. I can do that without takin my eyes of the road! Also why i use my remote in my car! I had a cop the other night follow me for about 5 kays right till i pulled into my driveway! He then just took off. Said nothing to me. No lights.. nothing! I did nothing to provoke this other than drive past him as he was pulling out of side street. Surely he has better things to do than follow me through the burbs home!
And by crimes that could mean anything... like speeding which probably contributed to a fair few of those "car related accidents".
