A road toll rise in parts of Australia has experts worried that we are going backwards on road safety.

    In Italy whatever active use of a phone is banned already by the law. If an officer sees you with a phone they can stop you and issue a fine. Stil its not enforced enough

        It helps, the world isn’t white or black. Many people stops doing things because those things are illegal. Then I agree that there will always be some people doing the bad and some people doing the good regardless of the law.

        Yeah. Shouldn’t even bother with laws against murder. Doesn’t stop people killing each other.

        Banning stuff does stop it, see Hitler (existing) or horses on highways.
