Motorists not getting the point on mobile phone ban

Almost 500 motorists a month are having penalty points added to their licence for using their hand held mobile phones while driving. More than 40,000 motorists have had penalty points added to their licence for the offence since the ban came into force in September 2006.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) in its latest campaign is urging motorists to "switch off before taking off" but judging by these figures the message isn't getting through.
