Sir, – In my travels around this country, I am horrified by the amount of people who use their mobile phones at petrol pumps while refuelling. 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,
