To me, this is just yet another way to automate and therefore monetise police activity. If phone use isn't a major link to road trauma, but its only causing involvement in minor accidents, then it contradicts the police's position to not attend minor accidents. Either it's serious enough to warrant police interest, or it's not.
13 serious accidents that probably wouldn't have happened if they weren't on their phones. 26 cars seriously damaged, immeasurable amounts of people affected hundreds of thousands of taxpayer $$$ used up in first responders and the list goes on and on.
Get off your phones people, not saying at all you do b0son.
