I like to go "handsfree" as much as possible...saves me getting my hands dirty


makes me laugh when I see guys queuing up to pay for petrol wearing their little earpieces.. FFS guys, give it a rest.

i think women should be allowed to use their phone as they can do more than one thing at a time

With technology is moving so fast, I think they might have mobile phone type microchip inserted up their bum these days. I have seen some loonies mumbling to themselves and doing hand actions etc. while driving

a chip in your bum would make sense if you talked out of your **** swati

You mean like the woman who was too busy nattering into her little ear piece that she almsot took my front end off at the A1 roundabout.

never trust the other person only yourself

BTW it wasnt me

Simon C

I know it wasn't you, she was driving a merc, although she was blonde!

You know the roundabout, with tesco's on it in Hatfield.

She drove round the outside of it (IE, left hand lane all the way round it) from A1 south exit to A1000!!!! Then wondered why she got a very angry honk out of me.

Simon C

it is when your me

Simon C

Please tell me when your driving round hatfield then girl, so I can stay off the road!!!!!

How hard is "if your turning left or going straight on" then its left hand lane, or right and straight over right hand lane.

when you are leaving the Galleria to get to Stanborough the roundabout shows the exit to Wheathampstead it to the right but when you get on the roundabout the exit is to the left so you have to cut everyone up to get in the right lane

ive seen other women have the same problem

as long as you press the right buttons all will be ok

Simon C

piece of cake dear.

Approach roundabout in center lane, (left goes to A1 north), once past A1 turning, drift left into the left hand lane and when lights change straight on! Its not difficult!

but the sign clearly puts Wheathamstead to the right, i can do it on a sunday morning no problem

anyway simon, do you use a hands free?

Simon C

Ignore the bloody sign then if you know its wrong, or are you a goldfish?


Nope, phones got an inbuilt loudspeaker system

i never thought of that

my phone fits very snuggly into the steering wheel so thats how i use mine with the loud speaker on. i used to put it in the sun visor behind the clear plastic strip but it flew out a while back and landed in the road

I linked my w810i up to my Kenwood head unit using the standard handsfree connector (minus the earphones), which I connected to an adapter which plugs into the CD changer socket on the head unit. Works perfectly* - proper handsfree for about a tenner!

Don't really use the phone when driving that much though, but it's good for playing MP3's through, although my head unit plays MP3s anyway!

*until I snapped the phone cradle on the way home tonight!

wedge it into the steering wheel

KiwiGTI

I don't have a headset, it makes you look like a ****.

And I don't answer the phone when I drive, simple as that. I'm not a slave to my phone like mot people. In fact the only reason I have one is so I can make calls whenever i want, not so that people can call me whenever they want.

you could be getting a call thats really important, ie. you child has had an accident at school or something, its very hard to ignore the phone i think

KiwiGTI

Not really, it's usually on silent, vibrate turned off and sits in my pocket. Guess if the important phone call comes in it'll just be like 10 years ago when mobiles weren't prevalent.

I really find them to be an intrusion, people "expect" you to always be available, some even get angry when you don't answer.

only give your number out to nice people, much easier

I thought my ex was a nice person at the time

And here comes another one.

Brendan Hughes

It was a PITA with the Toyota, and now it looks like it's going to be a Right Royal Expensive PITA with BMW. Just been googling/searching their boards for people who don't want to use bluetooth. Or even if they do, there are still a limited number of phones that are compatible. Of course, mine isn't one of them.

Why is it, that with all the laws saying you should use a phone hands-free, they make in-car kits as expensive and as non-compatible as possible?

Forget asylum seekers etc, this REALLY gets my goat.
