OMG please stop!

You may have to give me an example, but in my opinion a monetary fine is the only way to deter all people. I think a 3/6/9 month driving suspension may be more of a deterrent but far too costly and complicated to manage because the numbers of people on suspension would be far greater. I don’t...

if it was a money making scheme then it would and should be more than a £60 fine.

I think there is something different about lack on concentration and the concious decision to physically pick up your mobile. Somethings cannot be naturally avoided but others can. I think a nurse who is tired should think twice about driving as much as an idiot who cant wait ten mins to hold...

Taking away the extreme life changing events, like crippling injuries, major organ injury and even death. The only real concern you have with using a mobile phone while driving is that it is an unfair law and you could possibly incur a life changing event by getting too many point on your...

I admit that I hate people breaking the law especially when it puts lived at risk. If you kill someone tomorrow while using a mobile phone it will certainly be a jail term

I honestly do get some of your points but it is careless driving in general that is wrong but this particular thread is concerning mobile phones as this is the one law I see broken on a day to day basis and in which I have seen tragedy

Your selfish attitude requires me to rephrase my point......how would you feel if given the choice, a slap on the wrist or a lengthy jail term?

Why is it ok for the police to speed and go through red lights.

It was in conjunction with this: Priceless. Stand in front of a police man and use your phone. what will happen? Nothing Stand in front of a police man and smoke a Joint. what will happen? Caution/Arrested What a fu*ked up world we live in. Although I did read you post as "Well...

I think you went a little down wind with your idea about smoking a joint vs using a mobile in front of a police officer............. The statistics relate to reaction time while driving a vehiicle. You can argue one way or the other as to whether a joint is safe or not, but on the road they...

If im infront of you on the inside lane of the M25 and I have to slam on the breaks while you are traveling at 70mph I hope you are using your mobile phone rather than having two hands on the wheel focused on the road ahead, for my sake, the others in my vehicle, the people around us......and...

i would say that eating, picking ones nose, doing his/her make up etc is covered by Careless/inconsiderate driving according to the law

:ffsparr:

Correct because one is illegal and the other is not. However, do them while driving a vehicle both are illegal.........

marginally but still completley irresponsible.

Statistics Research to examine the effects on young drivers using smartphones to access Facebook found that: When sending and receiving Facebook messages - reaction times slowed by around 38% and participants often missed key events; participants were unable to maintain a central lane...
