Sir, - Regarding the proposed new legislation whereby the use of mobile phones while driving will be an offence, I would suggest that as well as observing car drivers, gardaí should keep a beady eye on bus drivers too. Recently I was a passenger on a bus on a busy Saturday morning and watched the driver having an animated conversation on his mobile phone while he negotiated the traffic and several street corners from Nassau Street to half-way up Upper Leeson Street, all with only one hand on the steering wheel! - Yours, etc.,
