British road safety authorities are reportedly testing a roadside system for detecting phone use in cars.

The roadside system, which is being piloted in Norfolk, picks up the signal in the vehicle and activates a warning sign of a phone with a red line through it, the BBC reports.

Chris Spinks, from the company's sales team and a former head of roads policing in the region, told The Times that the system was designed to "educate and inform the driver" -- Westcotec has no plans to create tech for use in prosecutions.

However, the county council told the BBC that setting up the system to record specific number plates could be a "future development," and that statistics from the devices will be shared with Norfolk Police.
