There is currently a large crackdown in the West Midlands area with knob heads using mobile phones while driving / in control of a vehicle.

This includes holding a mobile to check navigation etc.


Also elsewhere, Cambridgeshire Police are cracking down on rubber necking mobile users.

So don't even be tempted to check that mobile in the car, you never know who is watching!!

The penalty for being caught, should be road side circumcision.

That'd stop the bastards.....

Its a shame Vodafone does not support hands free car kits anymore, They no longer have them on their portfolio. I worked in the cellular car kit market for 27 years.

Good. Seen too many nobbers weaving around whilst on mobiles !!

About time something was done about it.

Amazing the stupidity of some people.

[russelldav]

Car right up my ar*e tonight as I tried to pull in to my drive. Took a look at who it was to see a woman holding phone in her left hand and reaching not across with her right hand to change gear. Madness.

The worst thing is, a high number seem to be knob cheeses driving BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc.

Interesting perspective but surely not the case.

Tradesmen are probably the worst from what I have seen. They seem to have more cause between jobs, perhaps. My offices are opposite warehouses and the amount of lorry drivers (HGV) that come in on their phones is appalling. West Midlands are onto it though and there are unmarked HGVs out to deal with them, mostly for motorway work.

But either way, too many people think it's acceptable to not be fully concentrating and not in control.

And Nick, you are wrong. 'Castration' is the word you were looking for for these inconsiderate, selfish arrogant pricks. It's always these type of people, the drunk drivers, the drug drivers, who ruin people's lives and yet walk away.

The tragic thing is they either have hands-free calling and don't know how / can't be bothered to connect it to the car or have been too tight to spec it.

Also I think a number will be hire cars etc.

Yes van drivers etc are high numbers.

Just I have noticed a high number of mobile phone users in cars that should or do come with BT.

sometimes the knob cheeses that drive premium cars think they are above everyone else and that their requirements are above those of others so they NEED to be on the phone

Or the second hand market wannabes who are basically just selfish

Basically both categories don't care about the mayhem chaos and loss that they can cause.

Do see a lot of trades on their mobiles as well.

Sad when you consider how relatively cheap blue tooths are.

Madness that she doesn't have an auto!

Yeah sorry.

I was on the M6 toll road searching for some change and changing gear with my cock and texting at the same time....

I'm all for this. I nearly missed out on getting the 330 thanks to some bimbo using her phone while driving in the snow. I stopped, she didn't. Thankfully not too much damage to the Audi but had to get it sorted before trading in. 3 weeks before pickup so I was not impressed.

Gets right on my nerves people using phones while driving. Should get the book thrown at them and deserve all they get.

Indeed.

Especially by drivers in audis and BMW's etc. to me it screams 'I'm too cheap to get Bluetooth or too lazy to actually sync it to my car' in which case we should not just throw, but indeed launch, and launch many many books, in their direction.

So after your BMW nav system gets you lost, it's illegal to use your phone to find your destination? Charming.

Makes me glad to be a colonial.

[Craig 1527]

Time they cracked down more on phone use while driving i was hit on my motorbike by a woman who was so busy on her phone she didnt bother to look at a t junction and just pulled out right in front of me even though my bike was bright red and so were my leathers and i had my headlights on .
Her punishment a two day driving course with the police cost her £70 a day me i lost my left leg so seeing people actually get caught using the phone makes me happy .

Well you stop the car and get out your map.

Alternatively, you drive around looking at your phone, possibly killing innocent bystanders, other motorists.

Or you look at the map function of the sat back and work out your route.

If a person has to rely purely on sat nav, they should hand over the keys as being incompetent.

Admittedly, it appears life comes cheap across the Pond.


Not using a mobile while driving has been law for 10 years and is getting to be one of main factors in accidents and deaths.

We also have this law that motorbike users wear crash helmets......

However, we are just 'ex' Imperialists, what do we know.

+1

Otherwise known as common sense I think.

However my sat nav has never got me lost, ever, and I could punch in 5-10 post codes a day when out and about for work.
