        @BBCWorld then they are not looking. As mainly a passenger I see many each time I go out. Many van and lorry drivers

        @BBCWorld only harsh sentences will bring the percentage down like a fixed 2000£ fine and 14 days in jail. Causing risk to life🚗📲

        The statistics are misleading and do not reflect the reality. Phone usage is widespread and dangerous http://tinyurl.com/z6m4x9g

        @BBCWorld fewer controls? Just cycle or drive on slow roads to see meaningless result of these statistics...

        that's odd because about every third car I see has a driver on the phone. But no police = no convictions hence your headline.

        @BBCWorld I see more than ever on phones while driving , maybe if police numbers weren't getting cut , they'd be around to see ?
