    I understand what you are trying to say however it isn't like there is a shortage of information out there for drivers and spending less time on a phone whilst driving kind of frightens me. looking at Phones should not be part of the driving experience 

    We have a long way to go as an incredibly selfish and ignorant nation of motorists driving standards are very very bad. Mostly through ignorance which for me is a direct co sequence of relying on speed cameras to police out highways and deciding traffic officers can be phased out. A speed camera won't prevent lane hogging, tailgating and general arseholery such as not slowing down and moving over when there is a breakdown

    I hate smart motorways and they seem a recipe for disaster - if you break down the chances of somebody ploughing into the back of you seems pretty high. According to the Panorama programme it could take over 30 minutes for action to be taken.
