Madam, - Whatever happened to the proposed legislation regarding the use of mobile phones in cars? Research carried out in Australia, and published in the British Medical Journal, shows conclusively, that people who use a mobile phone while driving are four times more likely to have a serious accident, irrespective of whether or not a hands-free device is used. Yet another delayed opportunity to save lives? - Yours, etc,
ARTHUR TANNER, Green Park, Dublin 14.
