Road safety group Parc says mobile phone use by drivers is at ‘epidemic’ level

“Of course anything that has the potential to save lives should be tried” she said.

She revealed that Parc had lobbied Minister for Transport Shane Ross to double the penalty for drivers using hand-held mobile phones while driving.However Ms Gray said the research could take two years and during that time a lot of crashes could occur involving loss of life or serious injury. But she said there was great concern among road safety activists in relation to the findings by the High Court that data-retention concerning information generated by telephones contravenes EU law.
