As Australia enters 2019 another step towards making the true blue give anyone a go carefree country into another nanny state. In April this year drivers will be fined for using mobile phones if caught on the M4 mobile phone use detection system [news.com.au]. Fair enough, we have some drongos, like the tool who was caught using both his hands to use his phone while his mate in the passenger seat held the wheel, but, seriously, is a camera system dedicated to detecting mobile use really needed? What's next, fun police?
