Its Now Illegal To Use Your Phone Inside A Car In France,Even When You Pull Over by obafemee80(m): 2:15pm On Feb 06, 2018

It's now illegal to hold your phone on public roads even when you're pulled over to the side of the road, whether you're blocking traffic or not as authorities are going after drivers who text or call while driving.

Road deaths have been on the rise lately in France and with nothing much else to pin it on,the high court ruling means that taking what some consider to be a safe step like pulling over to talk on the phone, could still result in points and a fine of 135 euros.

Previously, the law banned the usage of a mobile phone while "circulating in traffic", which means texting or talking on the phone is allowed when pulled over.

Rather create a new law, the ruling has clarified exactly what it means to be "circulating in traffic." Now, it's not enough to pull over and switching off the engine in order to use your phone; you have to be parked in a designated spot. When you've had an accident or breakdown, however, you are allowed to call or text.

France, a country with a well-deserved reputation for crazy driving, has introduced new laws to try to stem an accident rate that has been slowly rising after decades of steady decline. It recently reduced speed limits on two-lane roads from 90 to 80 km/h (55 to 50 mph), upsetting motorists across the country.

Do you want the Federal Government to implement this kind of laws in order to fight the menace of road accidents on Nigerian roads?

FRSC have tried their best down here but then it seems Nigerians love making you suffer for what you want to stop ,

Road safety can't even see them making those calls while driving talk more to catch them, very skillful when it comes to disobeying the law

It can only Happen in Nigeria �� when you will see people doing live Video on Facebook while driving.

It can only happen in Nigeria ��, Nollywood Actor and Actresses will be using Mobile phone while they are driving in the movie, this is a very bad habit and also sending a wrong message to the public, I shake my head why watching this on Nigeria film.

It can only happen in Nigeria �� only , people use only sit belts because of Traffic Officials once they pass over them they will remove it

This is enough evidence to prosecute this people with heavy fines or penalties, you will see our Nollywood people not even obeying the law while doing there yeeye movies � making phone calls while driving, the Hollywood or Bollywood of this world can never do that because they know that they are already on their way to Jail.

This is one of the reasons why Governments, especially state government and council local governments is broke they can generate alots of money by imposing heavy fines on some of this slowpoke.s who are breaking the law. I want to thank the Lagos State government for taking a bold steps on this aspect.

I would advice that the way it’s done in the United States and Europe your car plate number should be links with our Bank Account BVN, and fingerprinting,with your home address leading to having a one database system, this will help the government agency to prosecute anyone that breaks the law.

No nonsense person indeed. Is the havoc unleashed on Nigerians by his fulani brothers not nonsense enough? Why are thieves still in the cabinet of this person with integrity and uprightness?

Everything is a gradual process. Moreover he has put machineries in place to curb all kinds of atrocities irrespective of the perpetrators ethnicity or religion. That's true leadership

How long will it take these machineries to start? After all predominantly christian ethnic groups have been killed? Stop supporting evil.
