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 hate knowing every light i stop at, the moron infront from the moment they got there is staring at their phone and not watching the light.

      Don’t get me wrong, I hate that shit too. But I think it’s also important to note that it’s just obviously categorically less bad than using your phone while driving along at 60 km/h.
