Monday's report (Local News, November 26) that 60 drivers were nabbed using their phones while driving doesn't surprise me at all.
I have witnessed it first-hand many, many times. But it does make me question the ethics of our petrol companies, one in particular, for their vigorous promotion of takeaway coffees.
I would think that trying to drink a hot latte without spilling it on your tie or skirt would be just as much of a distraction as taking a phone call.
