Drivers using mobile phones

Is no one in government or the Police Force worried about the fact that the use of mobile phones while driving appears to have become the standard way of getting around our islands?

Is it part of the latest driving instructions: Do not reverse onto a main road, stop at traffic lights when showing a red light, do not forget to use your mobile constantly while driving, especially in built-up areas and when going around bends as this makes driving with one hand lots of fun?

I understand that wardens became ticket-happy when they had the power to issue tickets without stopping the person at the time but if it is a choice between giving wardens back this power and saving the life of one person, then it is worth it. I am sure no one is keeping such statistics but it would be interesting to know how many accidents on the road occur when someone is using the mobile. Must someone die for us to see what is plainly in front of us?
