Video: This punishment should apply to every driver responsible for mobile phone related accidents

Dangerous as it is, some people just don’t get the message about not using their mobile phone behind the wheel. If this form of punishment applied, they’d cop on fairly lively.

Dangerous as it is, some people just don’t get the message about not using their mobile phone behind the wheel. If this form of punishment applied, they’d cop on fairly lively.

We have no idea where exactly this video was recorded but judging by the amount of dash-cam footage emanating from that part of the world we’ll take a stab at Russia.

In any case it is the message that the clip sends out which is most important as one fairly angry trailblazer illustrated the punishment that should apply when drivers are responsible for an accident because they were using their phones while driving.

The hero of the piece obviously had a bit of a struggle before wrangling the phone out of the grasp of his enemy but he wasn’t about to be stopped and the manner in which he left the scene suggested he wasn’t about to hang around to swap insurance details either.

That’ll learn ‘em.
