The fines came into effect two months ago in my home state and have already collected $18 million to help pay for roads and schools and hospitals and national parks and other stuff. It’s luck they’ll help reduce the incidence of texting while driving.

I do. Apologies for the omission. $18M over 2 months from a population of less than 6M shows how many enthusiastic phone users there are.

I corrected the earlier post.

Aussie dollars?

Drivers are in charge and are responsible for their machine that can kill. The behaviour has been going on now for decades. I believe most motorcyclists don't exhibit this behaviour when riding. Why should cagers? There are consequences.

Actually, and with the utmost respect peterbaron, I can see little evidence of the first of your words starting with 'b'.
