Supplementary notes

* The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Actuellement, l’utilisation du téléphone portable au volant est une infraction punie de 135 € d'amende et trois points de retrait sur le permis. Le gouvernement prévoit de mettre en place le trait de permis immédiat dans le cas où le conducteur utiliserait son téléphone mobile en même temps qu’il commet une autre infraction au même moment (feu rouge grillé, excès de vitesse, etc.). Vous personnellement, êtes-vous favorable ou opposé à la mise en place de cette sanction?"
