At least Lord Ahmed had the decency to refuse to bleat about his 12 week prison sentence for texting while he was driving. He got caught because he crashed and killed someone. He had stopped texting before the crash and no-one would have been any the wiser if he had not come across a stationary car, parked by a drunk in a motorway fast lane.

But perhaps this is the only way to make people stop using their mobiles while they driving. Nothing else seems to work!
