Personally I'm happy to see these kinds of warnings about. And I think it should be broadcasted over the UK. People are just idiots, and think "Oh it'll never happen" and just take the chances.
I don't care if people find it too much or somewhat unpleasant/insulting. Sometimes you just need to go to those kinds of levels to wake people up.
I'm not sure what the law is when you're caught using a mobile whilst driving, do you get fined? Or just a slap on the wrist. If not fined I think maybe go to the extent of losing points on your licence, or I think what would be better is to maybe have a short 3 month suspension or something. You're playing around with peoples lives after all.
I've never used my mobile whilst cycling, what's the point? The most I've done is heard my phone go on, I stop somewhere to have a look. But majority of the time it's kept in my bag anyway so I don't hear crap.
