In a survey released by NRMA, drivers operating their phones while driving were indicated as the greatest menace to our roads.
Over 75 per cent of the 1500 members surveyed ranked illegal phone use behind the wheel as their biggest road safety fear, ranking higher than drink driving and speeding.
The data went as far as to indicate drivers in the age group from 26-39 as the worst offenders, with over 74,000 motorists reprimanded.
