I cannot see why this is a problem as Tram Drivers cannot take their hands
off the steering wheel (or controller) when the tram is moving! Has
anybody ever been in a tram when the driver has to speak on the phone with
their operations centre, the tram stops first....it has to or else the
emergency break will engage...

The Age - what a paper for checking their facts....!!!!!
