Personally, I'd ban passengers, far more likely to distract you than a mobile, hot dog, coke and a ciggie... not simultaneously, like...

In some ways I'd welcome some sort of approval for in-car stuff but I would NOT trust beaurocrats to set the standards properly.

good valid point, Then why not ban the use of screenwash cause your vision is impaired for a second or two till the wipers clear it? theres loads of if`s and but`s for all of it, but personally i cant see what makes smoking and driving dangerous

like i said in another post just where does all of this PC stuff end?

Are you actually taking your name? What's not to believe? Smoking and/or wearing high heels WILL cut down on the ability to control a vehicle, especially in the case of an emergency.

And none of your insulting graphics will change theat, so get over it.

RA Dunk

BS, its obvious your another one of the anti smoking brigade

wot graphics are you on about? get over wot?

You're on the phone, something happens in front of you and you need full control, you can drop the phone.

You're smoking a ***, something happens in front of you and you need full control, you can't drop the *** without setting fire to your car. So you're trying to steer, change gear and keep hold of a flimsy incendiary device to avoid being burnt.

Which is more dangerous? It's so obvious I'm incredulous anyone can defend it.

Then there's the unpleasant ash out of the window as obviously no cars fit ashtrays anymore . Or more likely people know how unpleasant cars full of stale ash and butts are so selfishly infect it on everyone else instead. Plus the danger of throwing burning butts **** out of the window in the path of motorbikes with open visors or jackets. Or lit butts getting wedged in the front of following cars. I could go on and on (oh I have......) Ban it

Ban women from driving in high heels?? Are you on drugs? No way should we do anything to stop women wearing high heels, so what if a few of them have crashes, it's so worth it

RA Dunk

why the need to drop it? if you think its a gift from god to be able to do these things with a *** in you hand it really shows how much you know, any smoker could do any of those things while with his eyes closed while driving, its no great feat

the phone is more dangerous everytime!!


ohh how disgusting, people throwing ash out of the window!

. if people dont like the smell of smoke in somebodys car than dont go in it, its that simple

i use my ashtray as its supposed to be used, i could go on as well go get a life!

There's a big difference between 'making progress via lane 2', and 'undertaking'....

The ******* that sit on your rear bumper, swerve into the middle to try and gain 15 metres of road should be dragged from their cars and shot on the hard shoulder.

RA Dunk

no its not, theres absolutly no concentration going into smoking at all, its not like having a conversation on a phone where you actually do need to concentrate

theres a massive diffrence between using a phone whilist driving and driving while smoking

Chip Sengravy

what about rolling your own?

at 80?

RA Dunk

now that is a diffrent ball park all together lolz

bootsy

as using a phone while driving is danger.what about coppers using there radios while driving i see no difference still only one hand on the wheel and not 100% on the road.the other night i watch old rerun cop show on sky.some copper driving to a drugs bust in Norwich driving along putting on latex gloves while talking to the camera crew in the back of the car

sociophobe

ban kids from all cars. i've been clipped twice in the past six months by dizzy biatches slapping their kids on the school run. in fact just ban dizzy biatches with or without fat lazy little runts on board

sociophobe

oh and picking your nose, bloody hazzard, just where tf do you wipe the booger?

Rudolph Hooker

Its not undertaking or changing the channel on the radio ......




It's just because you are a f***ing motorist!

RA Dunk

could try flicking it out the window, but that might be deemed as dangerous by some as you wont have your two hands on the wheel at the ten to two position lolz

DEEDEE

What would my HGV do if a car driver sits in middle lane doing 50mph, deliveries would be late, never mind 50 mile tail backs, We undertake we have too, even undertook PC Jobsworth

It's a well known fact that everyone can handle their vehicle whist doing any of the things mentioned plus shave,do their makeup,read a map,peel an orange & pour tea from a flask whilst holding the steering with their knees (I saw a white van man doing this). And no one has had an accident as a result of doing any of these things. So of course it's safe.

But would any of you do any of the things mentioned whist taking your test?

No?

Oh I wonder why?

Perhaps because it's not such a good idea when you are driving.

RA Dunk

none of us would play with the stereo the time of doiong our tests but we still do it

In my unbiased opinion I believe smoking whilst driving is nowhere near as bad as using a phone. As previously mentioned the actual smoking takes no concentration at all. Its the obtaining/lighting cig that is the dangerous bit. I have previously lit cigs for mates while they were driving and handed it over to avoid any mishaps.

Like ACID says where do you draw the line ? Having a handsfree phone conversation takes away your concentration apparently. What about talking to a passenger, listening to your favourite music, listening to sat nav instructions etc. etc. It would get ridicolous !

Lee247

How do you know we drive in high heels. I have a pair of tatty flatties I drive in. I put my heels on the minute I leave my car.

vindaloo

Is there an ACME device that does this?
If so, what's it called?
