Confusion, Lack Of Concern Over New UK Driving-While-Yakking Law
While recent studies have shown that, after an initial burst of compliance, New York state laws have done little to nothing in curbing the practice, it sounds like similar laws in the UK won’t have a very big impact either. Plenty of people are confused by the laws, and there are others who just haven’t gotten the message that such a law will soon be in place. My favorite response was from the 3% of respondents who believed that cradling a phone between your ear and your shoulder was okay, so long as your hand wasn’t touching it. There’s also a large number of people who know about the law, understand the law, and simply don’t care about the law and plan to keep on driving while yakking illegally.
