Silly cellphone rules

Mathew Dearnaley reports at NZ Herald:

Former mayor and senior policeman George Wood says he did not realise he was breaking the by taking a cellphone photograph while driving across the harbour bridge. …

He believed he would have been within the law had he used a standard camera, which would have been harder to operate while driving.

He is correct. Absolutely legal to take a photo on a camera, just not on a cellphone.

shows the of a law that targets just one sort of device  mobile phones. The law should focus on all distractions, not just scapegoat .
