Out in the car earlier, waiting in a queue of traffic at some traffic lights.
I read a nice "keep back, you were a learner once" sign on the tailgate of the driving school car in front.
I noticed one occupant in the car, so i thought "that must be the instructor".
Anyway, looking at their interior mirror i couldn't help notice their eyes constantly dropping
to something in their lap ... isn't it against the law to be using a mobile device whilst driving?
(Including when stationary).
So basically we have a driving school taking the moral high ground with a sign on the rear, but then
setting a poor example by dropping eyes to their mobile.
Next time you're out cycling/driving look towards the eyes of motorists in the opposing lane, i bet one car
in every twenty is being driven by someone staring at their lap!!
Bit scary that, when you're cycling along, because a phone-watcher might not notice the car
they're following moving across for a cyclist ... and BANG!
