Driving using a Mobile without Handsfree - Soon to become an ...

Just for info.... the cameras usually trigger at the well known speed limit + 10% rule. The partnership vans are not exempt, they will have got a ticket and whoever it was driving will have had to have paid it...

As for the Police bashing - I'll shut up now...lol

To me using a phone whilst driving is safe compared to what I witnessed a few days ago on the M4 at Port Talbot. A young lady was driving a people carrier overtaking me on the built up 50mph stretch of the motorway. Whilst driving she had two fingers of her right hand on the steering wheel while the rest of her hand was supporting a jar of baby food. In her left hand was a spoon and she was feeding a young baby in a carrier fitted to the front passenger seat whilst she was driving. To rub salt in the wound was a sticker on the back window saying "Caution - young baby on board".

Therefore I say use your phone as much as you like if it is possible and "legal" to feed a baby whilst driving. Wonder what she would have said if she was pulled over by the boys in blue.

She's probably a lot safer now that the baby is on SOLIDS ;O)

It's all about distractions, if they stopped using those silly blue lights and sirens the roads would be a safer place to !

The mind boggles at what this woman was thinking of doing that - im gobsmacked!

What about the car negotiating a roundabout, driver on the phone with left hand, turning wheel with right hand, which also held a sandwich? Oh, btw the car had flashing blue lights and stripes down the side!!

Yeah, but Tony Stamp and Reg are not real police officers...lol

You will never get them to turn their disco lights and noise down when they are daft enough to stand in the middle of the road to wave to you :0)

A man (i presume) was today banned for 6 months for driving at 70 mph whilst shaving. He was using his rear view mirror, and was overtaking traffic.

This is just madness, we all know you can't get a decent shave with an electric razor!

His job, a health and safety expert/adviser.
