NO MORE TALKING

TALKING on a cellphone while driving could be outlawed by the end of the year if a draft regulation by the Department of Transport is approved. The regulation was published in the Government Gazette on Wednesday for public comment, in line with legislation in Switzerland and Australia. Traffic Legislation Section manager Deidre Briech told SABC radio the new regulation would be enforced by year end if approved and drivers would have to install hands-free devices if they wanted to talk while driving.
