Using the mobile while driving causes the death of 390 people every year, according to the Smartphones study : the impact of mobile addiction on the traffic accidents of Fundación Línea Directa. Distractions with the mobile cause 20% of all deaths - one in five - in traffic accidents and a total of almost 8,000 accidents with victims.

With these figures on the table, the DGT has extreme control of the mobile. Traffic has more than 200 cameras installed to monitor the use of the belt but also to control the use of the phone while driving. Violators are reported with a sanction of 200 euros and the deduction of three points . The Pegasus helicopter is also able to detect these behaviors. The drones that Traffic uses since this year register infractions, but only from outside the vehicle.

More and more these systems are perfected. In New South Wales (Australia) a more precise system for the detection of mobile phones at the wheel has begun to be used. Since last November 29, Transport for NSW, an agency responsible for regulating traffic in this region, has installed 4 5 kymometers based on artificial intelligence (AI) .

At the moment it is only sending warnings, but in three months the fines will begin. The amount of the penalties will be between $ 344 and $ 457, in addition to the deduction of five points. In Australia the drivers start from 12, except precisely in New South Wales, where they have a balance of 13 points.

The creators of this system defend that it has a high degree of precision that allows it to operate in any climatic and light situation. In addition, it is able to locate a misuse of the mobile in vehicles that go up to 300 km / h. According to Transport for NSW, the system filters and removes invalid images. The location of the new systems has not been disclosed, but they can be both fixed and mobile .
