    Can't quite believe what happened to me this evening. We were on the bus, going up one of the busiest roads in Manchester, and the busiest bus route in Europe so I'm told, and the bus driver was talking to someone. I assumed at first he was just chatting on his radio as they do (handsfree and everything of course), but I looked up to see he WAS HOLDING A PHONE TO HIS EAR TALKING TO HIS WIFE!!!

    I'd have taken a piccie and reported him to his employers. He has responsibility for a huge vehicle and the lives of his passengers. Bang out of order. :mad:

    And seems to me as though the Police couldn't really care!

    Until a few years ago when this badly thought out law was introduced - no-one really cared.

    Just because it's law, doesn't mean it makes sense or is a good thing.
