My first thought was Wow! 8O as well and since I am heading over there tomorrow, made me think twice about how I will be using my Loox n560 to get around. But, after reading the article, it sounds like this only applies if you are considered to be "driving dangerously."

Prosecutions will be brought whenever it is judged that using the equipment posed a danger, such as forcing a car to swerve or causing a distracted motorist to jump a red light.

That makes sense to me but, why are they picking on mobile phones, MP3 players and navigation systems? Why not just say dangerous driving is punishable with a possible two year prison sentence no matter what the underlying cause or distraction?
Does this mean that if you are drinking coffee and doing your makeup and that causes you to drive dangerously that you will not be prosecuted?
