Sir, – In my travels around this country, I am horrified by the amount of people who use their mobile phones at petrol pumps whilst re-fuelling. Despite warning signs which clearly state: No mobile phones, these people feel their conversation is so important that they have a total disregard for the safety of others.
The use of any transmission device, mobile phone, two-way radio etc.. is highly dangerous in the presence of flammable liquids – all it takes is one spark to cause an explosion. Please, please switch off mobile phones in petrol stations and reduce the risk of serious injury or death. – Yours, etc,
