The issue of the use of mobile phones by drivers was first referred to the Attorney General's office for advice in July 2002. Meanwhile, there have been significant developments in in-vehicle information and communication technologies. The necessary preparations have now been made to provide for the regulation of in-vehicle information and communications technologies. It is my intention to include the provision in the next appropriate road traffic Bill.
