I go out on my push bike every day with 15 mates and we all keep in touch on whereabouts by texting eachother whilst riding on the road. I have 5 friends who do exactly the same with 15 of their friends. So that’s 6 x 16 = 96 cyclists that I just know of daily doing this. Just saying…

The amount I see just walking about, I’d say 100,000 times more get away with it.

My 10 year old Ford has a Bluetooth feature that enables voice dialling and accessing my mobiles phone book. Can't see why a similar arrangement can't be used for the Police? Perhaps one of the Sussex Constabulary members this board could enlighten us?

Never late in a V8
Slightly off topic, i was stopped couple of weeks ago, driving to work because they spotted i had my window open.
Apparently its what drink drivers do to keep themself alert.

If the vehicle is stationary, I can’t see what the harm is.

I've liked the look of that Maserati in particular for years so it's more a reflection on me at age 12 or so.There's no easy way to say this but everyone I know who has bought a Maserati have been complete ****s. Sporty Civics are great fun particularly If you're young and all the young lads I have known who've had them have been great lads
The Civics seem like great fun as long as you don't rag them like a bellend.

Ah yes, the "i was stationary at the lights argument" but when those lights turned green would they have hung up right away? I think not.
Regarding using the phone while driving my mind always goes back to the lorry driver who killed a couple of his fellow humans because he was talking to his wife about what he was going to have for dinner that night. Says it all really.
If i had my way all traffic police would be issued with a strong bag to put the phones of those caught in AND a club hammer to then smash them into pieces and tip the remains back in the car with a cheery " now try using it you selfish p***k"!!
Probably not a vote winner though.

They aren’t stationary if they pull away. Different matter.
Isn’t that what a Type R is built for?

It happens every day several times a day while I'm driving to and fro work sites. I see artic drivers on the motorway using them let alone car users. Unless you ban phones in cars it'll always happen

No excuses for having to use a phone to tell the time in a car

Amazon also have loads of dashboard clocks
Or fit a phone holder to the window
I’d just buy a watch personally
