If you make calls, receive calls, text or do anything else with your mobile phone "while driving", you are a bloody idiot and breaking the law not forgetting: --> Risking your own life --> Risking the lives of your passengers --> Risking everyone around you Its dumb, stupid, selfish and ridiculous behaviour that is breaking the law. Penalties include the loss of 4 demerit points and a $433 fine. Gauging by the number of drivers flouting the law the message is not getting through. As John Faine on 774 Radio put it we need a visual message from one driver to another that it is unacceptable. Well here it is.. 
Mobile SaluteLet Melbourne be the first city in the world to stamp out illegal handset use in cars. Drivers if you see another driver with a handset give them the salute. Ask your friends and family if they do it and if they do give them the salute... embarrass them. Web Link: Mobile Handset Salute We have to say.. thank you thank you thank you. The response has been fabulous. So many readers supporting the cause. Come on Melbourne! Tuesday 15th April 2014 - Total Lunar Eclipse | the moon will rise at 5.49pm in a total lunar eclipse.
