Victoria - the nanny state!

So it seems that the luddites only want you to use a phone as a phone. Smartphones can only be used for their main purpose if you are the driver of a car. Nevermind that it can do so many other things for you. Perhaps they don't want you to be alerted to the speed cameras (cash cow tax machines)?

I wonder when they'll give you a fine and demerit points for picking your nose?

In any event, its all a distraction. Supposedly its to make it safer, just like their speeding manta. Don't worry about poor maintenance of vehicles, or poorly designed roads - just blame the driver and fine them. Noice.
