There would be grounds to prevent evidence tampering, particularly if the accusation is contested at the scene ("Idindunuffin").Rogerborgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294928770519722820.post-53648564307320765302016-09-16T18:52:48.434+01:002016-09-16T18:52:48.434+01:00Why not take the phone from offenders.

It's already illegal to smoke in any shared vehicle, which has done nothing to stop the clouds billowing from every white van up and down the land.<br /><br />On this subject, I've seen a marked police van stop square in a cycle box, with a mobile clamped firmly to the driver's face. This, on a busy city centre street full of cycles and pedestrians crossing.<br /><br />I don't hold out much hope of stricter enforcement, although Lord knows that many coppers love to excoriate for doing as they do.Rogerborgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294928770519722820.post-37933269573274405672016-09-15T22:17:29.196+01:002016-09-15T22:17:29.196+01:00And to add to this discussion about concentration ...And to add to this discussion about concentration behind the wheel we should also ban the use of earphones and headphones both by all motorists and particularly cyclists. It should also be an offence to smoke in the car. Trying to enforce a ban on eating and drinking is likely to be more difficult but all these issues must be considered. Just about everyone puts a seat belt on when they get into a car these days thank goodness. It wasn't always the case but public behaviour can be changed and it then becomes accepted practice for all. This current slaughter cannot go on.Too old JP.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02851367026495221466noreply@blogger.com
