A driver was fined $27,000 for using their phone 41 times while driving.

A recent incident in South Australia has sparked outrage as a driver was caught using their mobile phone a shocking 41 times while driving. This irresponsible behavior has resulted in fines amounting to a whopping $27,000. The seriousness of this issue has been highlighted by new statistics which reveal that over 28,000 drivers have been caught using mobile devices in the past three months alone.

Superintendent Shane Johnson has stressed the importance of keeping your hands off your phone while driving. He stated, "If it is not in a dock, then you cannot touch your phone." This rule is in place to ensure the safety of both the driver and those around them. Unfortunately, the number of offenders has only decreased by two-thirds since the trial period earlier this year. To make matters worse, out of the 28,000 drivers caught, 200 have been repeat offenders, including the individual who was caught 41 times. Johnson expressed disappointment and confirmed that their license has been suspended while further investigations are being conducted.

Upon analyzing the data from mobile phone detection cameras, it was revealed that the North-South Motorway camera at Regency Park recorded the highest number of offenses, with over 7000 drivers being caught. The South Road in Torrensville was a close second with 6800 violations, followed by cameras in Darlington, Hindmarsh, and Gepps Cross which also detected a significant number of infringements.

As the state's authorities continue their efforts to curb this issue, they have announced plans to install two additional mobile phone detection cameras in the coming months. The exact locations of these cameras are yet to be determined. In addition, authorities are also considering stricter laws when it comes to the use of smartwatches while driving.

As we approach New Year's Eve, it is important for all drivers to be mindful of the laws and regulations in place to ensure everyone's safety on the roads.
