Who here yaps on the phone while driving?

I'll admit i swipe my screen when a text come in and glance at it but not reply. Wrong but I'm being honest.

I was turning right and another car this morning (actually it was a builder in a van) he was trying to turn past my van with one hand on the wheel as he was holding his phone against his head. Pathetic.

I`m guilty

Never...
Under new rules expected to come in next year, drivers caught using mobile phones while driving will get six points on their licence and face a £200 fine.

Same here, if it`s that important I`ll pull over to deal with it otherwise it can wait.

Drove past a police car then parked up to continue the call and the copper pulled in behind me.
Gave me the lecture but didn`t book me but he did say the company would also get a big fine as well as me getting fined. True or False?

True as your driving under the company and if taking work calls should supply you with hands free kit

The works vans have the kits, in this case it was a hire van with no kit fitted. Just wondered if he was blowing smoke or not.

texting is serious, a quick answer and Ill phone when not driving is all I do

maybe some sort of system where you can dob people in for money, say £50 for every pic of someone holding a phone.
