If caught in the act the first offence carries a $100.00 dollar fine, the second $250.00, and the third $500.00. Huh, am I missing something, for doing what? |

We can tell almost instantly if someone is talking on their mobile by the way their speed keeps changing and their car wanders around in the lane. I give them plenty of space! |
