Using a phone while driving: reports from South African roads
Using a phone while driving means holding it to call, text or scroll behind the wheel. It takes your eyes and mind off the road, and drivers on their phones drift out of lanes and miss robots. Report it with the plate, the road and the time, and a clip if you can safely get one.
