Did you know that if you are driving 60km/h you will travel 33 metres blind if looking at your phone for just 2 seconds?

With the number of mobile phone owners set to reach 20 million this year, it was probably inevitable that cameras to detect drivers using mobile phones would be rolled out sooner rather than later.

In response to a growing issue, Transport New South Wales has announced the implementation of a world first plan to catch drivers who use their phones while driving.

This plan will see both fixed and moveable cameras be mounted at various locations, state wide. The scheme is supposed to be introduced by the end of 2019 however specific details are currently very scant.
