After a year of watching and waiting, Canberra’s mobile phone detection cameras are about to strike.

Drivers snapped with a phone on their lap or in their hands by the overhead-mounted cameras will be issued an infringement and demerit points from Tuesday next week (20 February).

    I think speed vans are terrible due to people randomly slamming on their brakes and paying more attention to the speedo then the road. The mobile phone cameras (which incidentally can tell how fast you are driving but aren’t being used for that yet ) i’m generally pro as people who are on their phones wander all over their lanes and into others. Seatbelts are also something that you really should be wearing.
