Default The effects of a road congestion tax

In article , Richard J.
writes
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.


Which does not forbid the use of a mobile phone while moving on a
motorway. Nor does it forbid the use of a mobile phone while driving on
a motorway.

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.


Whereas you implied that all use of a mobile on a motorway was illegal,
which is arrant nonsense.
