PICTURED: Notts drivers caught behind the wheel on mobile phones

“lestla you seem to be an idiot , all buses have camera's anyway , if you think that its ok to use a phone if no arm is done , then you moan about cutting up cyclist. using your way of thinking then if no arm is done then that must be ok too jumping red lights is not done on purpose for most drivers but if change some times its safer rather than breaking instantly and putting pasengers on floor causing injury,, most people like you who more than likely never driven a bus and who think that you can just stop a bus on a five pence piece ,bet you are one of the idiots who wait till a bus just about passes the stop and puts hand out and complains when it does not stop , a bus needs time to stop no matter of speed , they need to check mirrors for what behind, giving change its normally the passenger who just walks off ignorant without getting change and from what I seen the driver normally catches them on way off bus if they remember.”

“indigo5, the last hing that bus drivers need is cameras on their bus as they'd be caught jumping lights, encroaching on zebra crossings, cutting up cyclists and robbing their customers by not giving them change. They'd all be banned within a a week.”

“give bus drivers a fiver every time we catch these idiots on phones on our camera's we would make a fortune. this is a lot worse than the police ever catch on a daily basis, I would say 1 out of 3 use a phone mostly texting now days or on social networks, I see this every minute of the day . cars should be fitted with jammers so unable to use in car while in motion.”

“Look at that idiot on his mobile while driving. Idiots the lot of them.”

“rdc, Lesta is what is known as a troll. He makes out that he does not believe that motorists ought to be fined for breaking the law even when the law is there to protect human life on the road. He does this to provoke a response from other readers. I say this because it can be the only explanation because surely no sane or rational person can possibly be posting for real what he has just posted.”

“Name and shame them put their pictures in the evening post or on a tv advert showing death and carnage caused by them pluis everytime a person is caught confiscate their phone it will inconvieniance them having to get a new one plus business men will lose their contacts”

“@LestaLM... you can make the same crass argument in favour of idiots who get behind the wheel when drunk but who don't actually manage to kill or injure someone else on the way home!! Your attitude beggars belief.”

“If a driver uses their phone whilst driving and no accident occurs then what harm have they done ? It just seems that this is an easy revenue generator as it's easily proven by the police seeing someone on their phone and then being able to check phone records. Of course, using a phone whilst driving increases risk but so does being tired, being a poor driver, thinking about the weekend, singing along to music, having the kids kicking off in the back etc. However, these are not noticeable by the revenue officers so they don't become factors until something has happened.”

“@Barney_Biswas... I'll join you in "confessing" to being a 'leftie' - and like you, I'm quite happy for the stiffest penalty for any of these cretins they can catch on their phones. I'm not sure why SSleeves is surprised by this as the thing that motivates the 'lefties' I know is consideration for others - which is hopefully what using a phone responsibly is actually about?!”

“yeah take their cars off them, what about floggings in the Market Square on Saturday mornings. get some perspective on this please. Minor offences should never have huge paybacks in a reasonable society”
