Motorists who use a hand-held mobile phone or fiddle with a satellite-navigation system while driving could be jailed for up to two years.

Prosecutors have said they could be charged with dangerous driving in a dramatically tougher approach to such offences.


Those caught fiddling with an MP3 music player or texting on a mobile at the wheel could also face the charge.

**SCHNIPP**

What a concept!! 2 years is a little steep for a first offence, but there are plenty of drivers out there that deserve 2 years and more...

;D

Isn't it a nice (s)ticket for this type of farce in Washington?

Think the Washington Legislature needs to update the fines to get more money rolling into its general fund for MORE spending priorities..
