Smart cameras to catch texting drivers from Monday

Smart traffic cameras capable of detecting a motorist using their mobile phone will go into use in the Netherlands on Monday. “A large number of violations were found during the test periods: 400 violations were detected with two cameras on a given test day,” the OM said in a statement. They then send a 240 euro ticket to the registered vehicle owner for violating Article 61a of the traffic code, which forbids anyone operating a vehicle from holding a mobile electronic device. Traffic officer Achilles Damen compared mobile phone use by a driver to closing one’s eyes behind the wheel of a car for a few seconds.
