[Avodah] Driving Without a Licence

RDE: 
> Rav Sternbuch (1:850) Question: A Jewish driver who normal speeds or
> doesn't have a license -- is it permitted to report him to the police?

FWIW 
Several years ago I witnessed a prominent member of my local community
driving his SUV while chatting on the cellphone. W/O naming names I
asked a rabbi if I should give this person mussar? [Hinting that really
HE should give him mussar ;-)]

The rav said "NO!" 

[I think he was concerned that I would not be heeded]

Frankly, I was more concerned for Hillul Hashem than for safety.

At any rate I personally concur with RDE that we need to make public
safety paramount [though I myself confess that I'm not a perfect
driver either]
