If you leave your phone on while driving and receiving an SMS is going to make you crash then honestly you kinda deserve a fine, at the least, don't you?

This does all seem an error prone way of detecting speeding given the granularity of network cells, and the ease of just tracking actual cars with cameras and numberplate recognition. Still, there must be a gap opening up here for a privacy conscious network operator who can't be bought for a mere €165k.
