Who here yaps on the phone while driving?

maybe some sort of system where you can dob people in for money, say £50 for every pic of someone holding a phone.

You do see the irony here, don't you....

I always use the handsfree. It's crap but it's my license, not whoever's on the other end.

I was in a loan van last November and got caught and done. £60 + 3 points. Ain't happening again!

I was pulled buy the MOD plod whilst queuing to get into RAF Lakenheath a few weeks ago, they gave me a proper grilling which I could not understand as I was stationary with my engine not running

Is that the van manufacture`s built in kind? Have heard Ford and Vauxhall kits are rubbish. Had my Parrot kit wired to the stereo volume control, goes a lot louder now.

I believe it's classified as being in charge of a vehicle.

Most phones come with earpiece and Mike there is absolutely no need for anyone to get caught using a mobile. Even if you have to buy a hands free they cost from £25 upwards, the fine is minimum £60 you are £30-35 better off.

blue tooth in my ear and full digitised alpine in the van.
it can pick up or dial from either source by voice command.

no excuse, if there was a finders fee i would dob anyone in holding a mobile whilst driving!!!

yet then, there is a customer of mine in a high profile job at boots somewhere in his late 30's.
text me your available dates i said, he replied he would email me as he dont own a mobile.

theres one worth thinking about!!

Pulled up next to my doctor at the light years back, he was on his phone. Gave him one of my Paddington bear looks. He ended the call! Must have not been important.

I never use the phone whilst I'm driving, I just post on ukpf while I'm driving, much safer.

Lot of money being produced for the treasury......if the government was serious about stopping it it could change the law to say ban you from driving for say 28 day's......just thinking about the total inconvenience this could have would deter most but not all......many would still do it ...but to stay on the road 3 points and £60 fine seem's not enough of a deterrent........the government have had to act due to some terrible accidents in the new's lately.......be careful Turnpin

I don't talk on my love in full view of people so I'm a way let the government take money off them...as long as they do something worthwhile with it and not just give it to the fat cat NHS bosses.
