The fine of $80 for use of a cellphone in a moving car is a no-brainer and leaves the rest of us at risk, especially little children.
One Thursday lunchtime recently I saw a vehicle at the traffic intersection at Cameron Rd and Eleventh Ave.
The young mother even had her eyes down as she pulled away through the lights; her small child was waving at me. Was she properly strapped into her chair? I wondered as she was facing me at the time? And $80 is a joke, let's follow the Australian's where I am told the fine is $400. And I would personally suggest impounding the car for 28 days and save some lives, especially children.

...and as much as I dislike "big brother is watching you" tactics, have 360 degree traffic cameras at ALL city intersections monitored 24/7 or at least the full part of a "typical" business day to ensure offenders are cited for these and traffic light offences...their names to be published monthly in the fine newspaper called The Sun.With the standard of driving we currently experience in the city, I reckon they will quickly pay for themselves.
