I saw a bloke in a HGV talking on his mobile a while back and he had one of those "how's my driving stickers" on the back. So I called the number on my hands free, pulled along side him and this is how the conversation went:

"I'd like to report that one of your drivers is using his mobile whilst operating a HGV"

"No Sh*it, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm alongside him now in the blue car......and now he's driving with no hands as he's flicking me the bird!.........oh...... you cheeky fuc....!!!"

*click*

;) :D

There are always people who lose their *concentration* on the road for whatever reason, some lose it more easily than others. Banning phones will make b*g-all difference; it'll just shift the *reason* for *concentration* loss to something else. It's just a symptom of bad driving, pure and simple. That's what the traffic police, if we had any, should concentrate on.

PS: oh, just realised, that's a non-starter as the police would have to gather evidence and charge people. Maybe even take them to court. Then they'd lose the £60 doughnut tip from the motorist .....

Why cant people just stop doing it, it just smacks of F*ck you I will make my phone call whilst operating a tonne plus projectile, I think its only acceptable if stuck in traffic.

I saw one daft bitch in a new Beetle reading heat magazine whilst driving once.

Its Simple, if you are Driving, Drive, otherwise stop and do what you need to.

If I'm stuck on a motorway while they take 5 hours to clear up some minor prang then I want to call home and say I'll be late. So I'll keep my phone and risk the 42 days, thanks. dl

PS. And reading Heat magazine is simply appalling in a Beetle. Should be Hello :)

Agree, but if it was a convertible, only Elle would do. :thumb:

Overtook a guy on the M40 southbound one time - I looked across and he was reading a broadsheet newspaper. I kid you not. :cuckoo:

Absolutely lethal near a public highway :mad:
