The Australian Pedestrian Council is calling for tougher penalties, since the current fine is only $200.

NSW politics report with Rachel Stevens. Stevens says NRMA testing has found that text messaging while driving is dangerous as it lead to major concentration shortfalls. The Pedestrian Council has called for those who SMS while driving to be stripped of their licences, but Stevens says the NRMA has not been so quick to say that. She says the NRMA study has only looked at 20 young drivers, and that the NRMA thinks education is important. Stevens says it would be difficult for police to prove a driver has been texting while driving. Clark would not like 'draconian' laws. He adds that a lot of the young drivers he knows are very good. Stevens admits to having sent a text message while driving. She and Clark go on to chat about how much they abbreviate their text language.
