New heavier fines for mobile phone use while driving

The thing is, drive without a seatbelt and you're only likely to injure yourself.  Drive whilst talking on the dog and other people are at risk.  I've seen some terrible driving from people on phones and personally I welcome the legislation.  If people still want to use them, get a hands free kit.

I once saw Debbie McGee driving round the M25 in Paul's Bentley whilst chatting on her moby.  Why the selfish cow couldn't be bothered to get a hands-free kit is beyond me.

paul was probably in the car as well :lol:  he,s very small so you might not have seen him :lol:

I have no hands free kit and don't use the phone in the car, phone rings it gets ignored.  No reason to do it so fine away............  Seat belts are a totally separate can of worms, if i don't want to wear one then it makes no difference to my driving and affects me only.

As a truck driver I see quite a few things that scare me.
Kids being unrestrained in a car should carry an attempted manslaughter charge. The number of women on the school run with a car full of hyper kids bouncing around inside is rediculous.
Today, one came off a roundabout and failed to see the manual stop/go signs held by a bloke in a high viz vest ( road was up ).
She slammed all on when she eventually saw me on her side of the road, 5 kids had to scramble back into their seats before she could see to reverse !
The guy with the sign actually jumped out of the way of the impending collision !

Not quite sure what he shouted at her though, I was busy pouring my self another coffee !  :wink:

Bishops Finger:
Once tried driving and using a moby.......never again :shock:
Don't agree with hands free either...been out with sales reps sorting out problems on their hands free with customers..no way were they in full control of their car...
