anti-mobile laws.
There is no law against the use of a mobile phone while moving on a
motorway.
Yes, there is. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 4)
Regulations 2003. It doesn't come into effect until 1 Dec 2003, and it
only affects the use of a hand-held mobile by the driver. What I assume
you meant was that the system would not be able to distinguish between
legal and illegal use of a mobile mobile, not that all use was legal.
