Default Re: NSW mobile phone detection cameras

Great idea I've been caught behind two this week right hand lane 10 and 20km under the speed limit oblivious to anything else. I usually sound my horn as I go by only to be greeted with a scowl for selfishly interrupting their conversation
I've also taken to giving a little more space to the car at front at traffic lights. As soon as you see the head go down in the car behind take your foot off the brake to turn off the brake lights, roll forward a foot and watch them think its time to go. Great sport but after a couple of goes I think some of them get wise to it.
Regarding cradles is there any legislation on the positioning of them?
Far too often I see them mounted on the windscreen under the rear view mirror of next to the A-pillar.
The obstruction of vision would **** me to tears.

Imagine coming out of jail after 30 years and seeing all these people with things in their ears looking down at this rectangular device everywhere wondering around slowly - you'd think the zombie apocalypse has come and gone while you were inside.

At least when you buy your first phone you’d never smash your screen. You’d be an expert at not dropping small rectangular items in your hand.

Nav mounted to the left of my fluffy dice hanging from the rear view with a phone holder to the right, with a note pad next to the A pillar
Oh where to put my dancing Elvis .......
But can't have a chip in my windscreen FFS
