Daily people are seen using cell phones while they are driving. I just saw in a television ad the TTPS stopping a driver to charge him for using his cell phone while driving. The person was spotted by the TTPS via CCTV camera.It is great to know that this technology is often utilised. How about if there was an incentive/reward for people sending video of drivers breaking the law by using their phone while driving? If the fine is $1,000, as the ad said, the person sending in the video should get half.
That way there would be many commuters monitoring and recording this or other breaches of the law and sending the video immediately to both the TTPS and the media.So T&T, the same technology used inconsiderately to endanger the lives of other road users ie, both drivers and pedestrians, could be used to "protect" them.
If drivers know someone is possibly recording them while they're using their phones while driving they would most likely not do it! Wise up and wake up before it's too late T&T!
