Until now, it has cost 1500 dollars in fines, but it has not been enough thought the politicians.
– It is the car, the road and the traffic, there must have one’s full attention when driving a car, and I am therefore very pleased that a broad majority in the Danish Parliament have the same position, says minister Ole Birk Olesen (LA).
The agree Parliament, we have, among other things listened to the research and studies show that the risk of accidents is increased if you which leads to focus on other things than driving.
At FDM, representing private motorists, you are happy for the reinforcement.
– the Use of hand-held mobile phone behind the wheel is simply preposterous and goes beyond road safety, says the legal consultant in the FDM Dennis Long in a press release.
