Not to be trusted considering the number of marked and unmarked company vehicles where the employees are happily chatting on the phone.Gladly they seem to have stamped it out on buses and black cabs.

Even scarier when in a coach on an Italian motorway. Drivers sitting side-on with feet out on top of the dashboard, multiple food containers arranged around the driver, open newspapers across the steering wheel and dashboard etc etc. I watched one driver put spread on some bread while controlling the wheel with one elbow.
