Blissfully ignorant of handphone rule


PETALING JAYA: Restrictions on mobile phone usage – even when stopped at a red light – are drilled into every Malaysian driver from driving school but in practice, many road users seem to ignore them.

A check by The Star on the Sprint Expressway found that out of 1,980 vehicles plying the road at a particular time yesterday, 42 drivers were seen talking on their phones and 83 others were either texting or reading messages.
