Hi all just thought i would give you all a heads up if you havent already heard.

 

i work for a handsfree installation company so thought id spread the news on the new law.

 

From the 27th Feb if you are cought holding your phone in the car its now an on the spot 60 quid fine and 3 points on your licence. If you are driving anything bigger then a car its upto 2500 pound fine and still 3 points on your licence.

 

This time its going to be enforced very heavily so be ready

 

cheers Craig

Sory.

 

All in favor of people useing mobile phones while driving being banned. Cemetaries are filling up with people who where hit by same idiots.

 

Why risk live over a msg or call that can be done later. If yoou must answer the fooking thing because its important, pull the fook over.

Amen to that. The amount of idots driving while trying to make a call without handsfree equipment that nearly lose it at roundabouts or corners. Get off the road if you want to text or make a phone call.

 

In fact coming back from East Sussex ealier today some prat in his dark blue VW Golf on his mobile nearly hit us side on because he wasn't paying attention to the road but was dialing up some number on his mobile phone. F*****ing idots :rant:

I agree 100%! As I type this, I have the laptop on my knee, driving down the road, switching between Internet, MSN and the mapping screen for the zemulator. Hey there's no law against using a laptop whilst driving :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ;)

..........I think they should ban smoking while driving as well........ why?........ Because how many people do you see while lighting up have no concentration on the road whats-so-ever?? If they use the cigar lighter they are bending over, and if they are using a match they have both hands occupied holding the matchbox and match!! Bloody dangerous if you ask me :D

 

This actually could be reduced when the anti-smoking laws come in! ;)

 

I received an info pack at work the other day reminding me of my legal responsibilities (on behalf of the company) in enforcing the law. Aparently, company vehicles "that are available for use by more than one person" are also classed as company premises. Therefore I must ensure they too remain smoke-free zones!

 

Since most vehicles on the road during the day are company owned, that's a fair few where the drivers will no longer be allowed to light-up.

 

Richard :D
