Sir, – I was disappointed, but not surprised, to read the letters from John Kavanagh and Sheila Griffin (May 3rd). They have missed the point. Using a mobile phone, whether hands free or otherwise, whilst driving is a major distraction. A distracted driver is a dangerous driver. Yes, there are many other forms of distractions in cars, as listed by your correspondents, but to drive safely you need to concentrate on your driving. A momentary lack of concentration can kill. You have control of the “Off” switch on your mobile phone, so use it. – Yours, etc,
