Phone fines on hold - except Scotland

[Nick VR4]

Just got this off AOL news


Motorists using their mobile phones as they drive will escape a fine for the first two months of the law being introduced - but not in Scotland, police have said.

From Monday, using a mobile while driving without a hands free kit will be an offence incurring a £30 on-the-spot fine - though in England and Wales there will be a two-month period of grace.

However, a spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said: "The law will be enforced on Monday. Obviously officers will be able to use their discretion but we are not saying anything about a two month settling-in period."

Can't see it being a problem in Scotland - it's months since I've seen a police car on the road here, they spend all their time indoors now that the scameras are raking in the revenue. Probably won't be cost-effective for them to get into their cars to catch a few mobile phone users
