Police Sgt: phone driving offences are 鈥榤ore spontaneous鈥�
Police in England and Wales have launched their biggest crackdown ever on drivers using mobile phones behind the wheel.
Gwent Police stepped up its patrols a week ago, but Sergeant Leighton Healan says drivers who are caught using their phones should still be treated differently to those who are caught drink-driving.
He told Nicky Campbell: 鈥淒rink driving is a personal choice. You go out that evening, you鈥檝e got the car with you and you have that drink. With a mobile phone it鈥檚 less pre-planned. It鈥檚 spontaneous. The phone rings and you decide to pick it up and answer it.鈥�
