It's not like it's a hugely busy roundabout or on a major route or anything. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14450#post-181936 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:13:45 +0000 Min 181936@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I noticed <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31634425">this story</a> on the BBC yesterdaybut forgot to post it. Drivers were watched at certain locations to check for mobile phone use and it was found that more of them seemed to be texting or on the internet that making a call.</p> <p><em>Among car drivers, 1.4% were found to be using a mobile.</em></p> <p>I am at a loss to understand how they managed to get such a low figure. Perhaps they should try observing from the top deck of a bus instead as when I am up there I can see masses of drivers using their mobiles, sometimes several of them in a row. I reckon the figure is closer to 20%. </p>
