    Why talk to people? Maybe you don't talk to your passengers. If you don't feel you're safe enough to drive while speaking, it's your call.


    that might be a better idea

    I've said I'm as safe speaking on the phone, as talking to passengers, so you've decided I must be holding a phone for some reason.

    That is what you intermated in your original post,

    I'm perfectly safe to use a mobile and drive. The police generally tend to ignore this stupid bit of legislation, quite rightly.

    As the legislation applies to handheld devices not hands-free.

    It's exactly what I said, I agree. I use the phone, and indeed, the police do ignore those who don't use handsfree. It is also a stupid piece of legislation, if you think how much technology in the car now requires more attention and hands on operation.

    And what if you need to turn the wheel quickly? You need both hands on the wheel to get full maneuverability.

    just because its there dosent mean its safe or legal to use while driving.


    if on of your passengers left their crack-pipe in your car, would you use it.

    and 70mph is a stupid outdated piece of legislation too, and Police will ignore drivers exceeding it by some margin, yet you feel strongly enough to argue the t*ss that it MUST be adhered to, because it's the law, and yet use your phone? Hypocrite.

    no. ive got over 3000 songs a stick thing that plays random, in the van and bluetooth for the phone


    on the motorbike I have a intercom that has satnav and bluetooth for phone and another stick thing for music. everything is automatic, I don't have to touch anything.


    although the phone does Bluetooth to stuff I never use it while drive/riding. im not important enough to be instantly contactable.
