Do they enforce this law, and if so how do they know you are texting, it seems easy to lower the phone on to your lap and if you know the keyboard you do not need to look at it.

I don't use a phone in the car and do not text, so this is merely a question to know how it can be enforced.

I do know the drunk driving fines in the UK are astronomical - as they should be, is it the same with the phones.

Most of our laws are a sham and are not enforced.
