The penalty for using a mobile phone while driving.
« on: 01 March 2017, 12:56:23 »

I'm surprised there hasn't been more about this in the news.......or on this forum

Quite draconian really.

My opinion is that the person caught using a mobile should be banned & have their car crushed , absolutely nothing should take your concentration off the road.Far too many innocent people have lost their lives due to these idiots.

Same fate for anyone caught not paying attention while driving for any reason, I would hope (including kids, dogs, fiddling with the radio, eating, drinking, smoking..) :y

Not that there's any police on the roads* to catch anyone.

(*There are some, of course, but not enough)

Saw a bloke watching a movie on his phone (in a car mount) the other day .. and we weren't stopped in traffic, we were doing ~60 down the A45!


P.S. I can still play Candy Crush on my commute, right?

We have probably all seen these idiots, just frightening the thing is they probably think they are excellent drivers !
Total tossers.

Being of a certain age I needed to google this.

I initially thought Candy Crush was big-titted  porn star from Texas or the like.

It's a ban for you then Opti, but rather than crushing your car I think I'll look after it for you, FOC, of course.

Foreign lorry drivers are the worst for this, but if the Police targeted foreign truckers, the softcocks would accuse them of racial profiling, or something equally limp.  ::)

It would be a major feat of dexterity for me to even attempt to text whilst driving. I'd have to put my reading glasses on for a start....that would make the road all blurry.  ;D
