Mobile phones and driving

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Always raise a smile when you see traffic cops on the tv pulling drivers over for using phones whilst themselves taking a hand off the wheel whilst holding the radio mike attached to their shirts.

Not defending idiots who use their phones btw but for me it’s almost an identical offence

Having used vehicle mounted radios in a previous job I can honestly say that using a press-to-transmit handset is nothing like using a mobile phone whilst driving. In general, the channel is preselected before driving, and if it does need changing it is no more difficult than tuning a car radio.

Muppets who use their phones not only put themselves at risk, but also the lives of their passengers and other road users.

The reason it isn't illegal to operate a radio is because they operate on a "simplex" or "half duplex" system whereas mobile phones operate on a "duplex" system meaning you can talk and listen at the same time, whereas a radio you can't.

Makes you wonder how people got by 20 years ago without mobile phones..... people are constantly glued to the fucking things, be it driving, walking or at social gatherings. Proper pisses me off.

Pisses me off that people go to a game more interested in being on their phone than watching the game. A major factor in lack of atmosphere IMO.

I have also used two way radios many times both before and after the phone ban came in - whilst it would have been impossible for the law to ban two way radios, I did become a bit wary after the ban - thanks for the clarification link

just seen Ian Wright post yet another clip of himself driving and singing to some shit tune whilst filming himself, how the fuck do him and other people get away with it? Surely the cops just go round nick him they have all the evidence they need.

Midnight.

Although you can’t read or write a text on it, look at porn on it or watch the football on it.

What kind of nanny state do we live in where you can’t watch pornography whilst driving?!
