Jailed peer warns of perils of phoning at the wheel
A LABOUR peer jailed for dangerous driving warned today of the perils of using a hand-held mobile phone while at the wheel.
Lord Ahmed of Rotherham was jailed for 12 weeks after sending and receiving text messages minutes before he was involved in a fatal motorway crash.
Supporting an AA/Populus poll into mobile phone use among motorists, Lord Ahmed said he had "learned the hard way" about the problem.
