What are people thinking these days? Canadian police pulled over a driver who had strapped his tablet and mobile to the steering wheel whilst driving.
Despite this reckless driving and dangerous setup, he was only issued with a fine amounting to $81 – or £48.
To remind everyone, here is the UK law on mobile device usage whilst driving.

Comments(0)Police say that an e-cigarette will be treated the same as any handheld electronic device. As such, motorists who are distracted by them, or the clouds of vapour they produce, could face prosecution for driving without due care and attention.

It’s easier to pass in less busy areas. London appears to be the worst place to do the test, with half of the city’s test centres among the lowest pass rates.

Comments(0)The 18-year-old was returning from his successful driving test when officers in the town of Hemer checked his car with a laser speed gun.
He was clocked travelling almost twice the speed limit – at 95km/h (60mph) in a 50km/h (30mph) zone.
The man had four friends in the car with him, regional police in Märkischer Kreis said – and speculated that perhaps he was trying to impress with his driving skills. Now he faces a ban for 4 weeks and can only receive his licence back after ‘expensive retraining’
Oh dear.

Today we talk about the on-going self-driving car competition across the whole country and where the UK is in the race. The US, China and Japan have been moving ahead swiftly in the race to put autonomous vehicles on public roads, but new trials in West London perhaps indicate the UK is not that far behind.
A recent survey from OpenText suggests 31% of UK respondents believe there will be more autonomous vehicles on the roads than human-driven ones over the next 10-15 years, though this is down from the 66% who answered the same question positively 12 months ago.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
