Posted June 16, 200420 yr Well it's only been 6 months since the using of handheld mobile phones while driving was made illegal. Yet driving around it seems to be just as bad as ever. I've seen all sorts of people from business men to housewives using their phones while driving but I think White van man is still the worse, with one of them loosing control of his van this morning and nearly smashing into me while holding a mobile to his ear! Do the police actually enforce this law? Does anyone know of anyone who has been fined for using their mobile while driving? Or do you think it's all a complete waste of time and the police should be out stopping 'real' crime and leaving the motorist alone?Your thoughts please.
June 16, 200420 yr I'm a white van man, but I get car kits installed for people Never seen anyone get done for it, but loads of people still do it. I find the worst offenders usually drive well expensive cars - whats that all about!?!

June 16, 200420 yr well i got done for using a mobile phone wen i was in fact using my blue tooth headset, so dont get me started on this law which they dont even know to fkin enforce! as far as im concerned u shudnt do anything that takes concentration away from driving, i.e. phones, eating etc, but wen u use summit which allows u to control ur car properly and u still get done for it then summit needs to be looked, if they had given me points for it like their talking about doing i wud of took it to court and i would of won, alrdy been told that by friends of mine, 1 a chief superintendant and another a solicitor, as it was it was just a fine and too much hassle.
June 16, 200420 yr What I dont get is that smoking and driving at the same time is still legal! My mum does it and it gets proper scary at times!

My mum does it and it gets proper scary at times! thats the 1 that really gets me! u cant drive properly whilst smoking, dont care wot any1 says, but they wud never dare enforce that 1 cuz 2 many ppl smoke and drive. this country is just pathetic tbh lol
June 16, 200420 yr I AGREE THIS COUNTRY IS A JOKE, THEY CONTRADICT EVERYTHING. CANT USE A MOBILE BUT CAN SMOKE. IN THAT CASE SURELY CD PLAYERS ARE A DISTRACTION ASWELL WHEN BRITNEY COMES ON THE RADIO U NEED TO TURN IT OFF SO U AVE TO LOOK AT THE CD PLAYER FOR THE RIGHT BUTTON.

June 16, 200420 yr i use my phone when im driving all the time... I dont feel using my mobile affects my concentration, nor does it really affect my driving. Theres some people who can handle driving while speaking on a mobile, and theres some that can't. I would also bet most police officers will use there mobile phones while driving too. I think its a law that will never be enforced, but merely there to generate a little bit of public support and most importantly, that little bit extra revenue!
June 16, 200420 yr i use mine too. whats the difference between that or talking to someone in the car while messing with the stereo, eating food etc....
June 16, 200420 yr i use mine too. whats the difference between that or talking to someone in the car while messing with the stereo, eating food etc.... exactly, which is y this country is a joke, if u cant use a fone u shudnt be able to smoke, use a stereo, look at ur speedo etc as they all take away ur concentration....altho i have to admit a lot of ppl who have cut me up have had no idea cuz they got a fone stuck to their ear. i just feel if it applies to 1 it shud apply to all.
June 16, 200420 yr i use mine too. whats the difference between that or talking to someone in the car while messing with the stereo, eating food etc.... The difference is that it isn't necessary to hold your passenger to your ear when u talk to 'em there is, however, a solution:
June 16, 200420 yr its law, because its been proven that ur concentration is affected whilst using the phone whilst driving, it justs vary's between people. fact.
