Under the law, it is an offence if all 3 criteria are fullfilled:

1. Driver hold mobile device and operate it;

2. Car in motion;

Only need high resolution camera if you do away with TP on wheel.

This rule is actually inadequate - I am sure many of us have come across drivers watching videos/movies on phone or tablet mounted on the dash or windscreen. While driving. 

It should be updated to one penalizing "Distracted Driving", including reading messages on phones, putting on make-up, reading newspaper etc while driving.

You are opening a pandora box.  How far do you want the law to go?

Mobile phone on a stand?

Car central console?

 

Cos if it's illegal, then cars selling Gps on central console must be banned.  Cos it will be a distraction even if it's for the use of passenger.

So on so forth.

I don’t disagree with your point.

How to phrase it into the law?

That means our car goes back to basic?
No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

if the motorbike guy is injured, maybe he expects some sympathy and even compensation of some money despite your own car is damaged

hahahaha they got caught!

Kudos to the cops. The middle finger man needs two additional charges, one for the finger and another for not riding with both hands on the handle bar (unable to have proper control of the vehicle).  More videos should be posted. More are expected to be arrested.

Using your lap to 'hold' the phone should be considered as well.

The cameras should be able to do this..

The phone was held in his hand, not on his lap.

Yeah... Most will configure one they like and leave it alone till they sell the car. You want to always know where exactly things like speedo, fuel level etc are. And not hunt for them. 

And dangerous touch screen controls just to change temp, air flow or volume. Give me a big knob anytime.  That's why very soon I probably cannot find any new car to buy!

Hi Five!!!

I still prefer the traditional dials and big knobs. No touchscreen please.
