I cannot understand why there is confusion over the new mobile phone law for the drivers (The Argus, December 2).

It is now against the law to hold a mobile phone to your ear while driving, stopped by traffic lights or waiting in a queue of traffic.

Driving with only one hand on the steering wheel is dangerous. I do not drive but I think this new measure will prevent accidents and save lives.

In common with other forces up and down the country, Sussex Police prefers to educate motorists rather than impose the fines for the first two months.

I do think this is too generous and these fines should be imposed now.
