WeX Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 As I drive to work every morning, I must see at least 3-4 people nattering away on their mobile phones whilst driving. It really annoys me! Wish I could shop them to the police!! A very good friend of mine was badly injured after it was proven that the person responsible was on their phone at the time. Please people, stay off your flipping phones when your driving. you'll find if you bother less about what everyone else is doing, you will have a better outlook on life.

Please people, stay off your flipping phones when your driving. Unfortunately there is not a lot you can do, just take down their numbers and report to the police. Then it is up to Police to either do some crime prevention (friendly letter/visit/call etc), or deal with the mess when they kill someone later. I did the same for some half-wit 17 year old round the corner who thought my road was Santa Pod. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1412 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Very different if you actually think about it! Yeah far worse as you would prob have to fish around in the glove box to find the paper and pen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerunner3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This is a joke. Our civil liberties in the UK are laughed at by the rest of the western world due to the number of CCTV cameras everywhere, and you want to add to it with this rubbish? Be careful what you wish for. Perhaps you will, at some time, find yourself guilty of a misdemeanor in which these thought police volunteers may be interested. How do you know we are 'laughed at by the rest of the western world' exactly? This country is one of, if not the best country in the world for safety due to our fantastic police force and security.

However, I also feel strongly that people dying due to drivers using mobile phones is disgusting- if filming them helps to stop it, then I say go for it. By the same reasoning, drunk drivers should be reported- don't you agree? If so, why should mobile phone users not be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot easier to prove a driver is drunk..the police stop him and breathalyse him .. difficult to prove a driver was using his phone whilst on the move...

TAT Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 :|Any of you keep your eyes on the road when driving ?? So many mobile phone using spotters !! Of course its not clever, nor is lighting up a cig or changing a CD while driving.There are plenty of distractions whilst driving... looking our for mobile phone users seems to be another.

sedith Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How on earth are they going to police the no smoking in cars when they can't enforce the ban on mobile phones by drivers whilst driving ... its all just a nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Once followed a Transit van driver turning right off Halifax Rd onto Chaucer, he was chatting on the phone with his left hand and swinging the wheel round using his right hand and Knee!
