The police force in New South Wales, Australia, is backing a Government decision to find technology-based solutions which will help to address the problem of people using their phones while driving, and they are currently looking into solutions such as long-range cameras, and helmet cameras being worn by police on motorbikes.

A high definition camera placed on Sydney Harbour Bridge to capture images of motorists using mobile phones while driving ended up spotting someone committing the offence every 30 seconds, showing just how often this particular law is being broken.

The camera was in action on the 12th of December 2017 between the hours of 8 am and 2 pm, and during this time it snapped 743 motorists using their phone, which equates to 4% of all drivers.

Snap the driver using the phone, snap the rego, trace the driver's phone number, remotely disable the phone, have them pay the fine to restore phone functionality - simples!

Some of those drivers might not have been using their phones - they may have simply been shaving whilst driving. Easy mistake for a camera to make

So 96% of weren't on the phone, well done.
Must remember that next time I go over the bridge 👍

Can't we blow the phone up and have no fine?

Or put the number on every telemarketers list.....
