OT: Annoyances - mobile phones used on car speakers

But highly illegal here and probably there,($337.00 and 5 demerit points in Australia)

In Australia they are taking photos through the screen from a high angle with telephoto lenses that you do not know are there.

There's something seriously f***ed up with Aussie law.

So the police like to predict the future then? Assumption of future guilt? You're using a phone therefore you're going to kill someone so we'll just do you for it regardless of reality?

You're the one that'll get punched by one he doesn't recognise.

I don't use bluetooth, but I use handsfree (in my house) for a long call. I place the phone on the desk near me, so in a car it could be sat on the passenger seat.

Your turn will come, if they are not doing it already.

The UK isn't that f***ed. And with right wing governments getting in more often, we're doing less of this s*it.

Yet another baiting posting by the unemployed and unemployable troll Hucker. I do feel a bit sorry for him after he lost his last job.......... not his fault for once. The Inland Revenue and the National Insurance take no prisoners. I did warn him.

You just contradicted yourself. Is it my fault or not?

And I have never been in trouble with either the IRS or NI.

And I'm not unemployed. I stopped working for precisely 2 months when they went bankrupt.

Neither.

Nope. The law says you cannot use a phone with it held in your hand when driving and THAT'S what you are charged with.

Wrong, as always.

Normally isnt because if you put it there when driving there is too much risk of it ending up on the floor when you stop quickly. So you get in the habit of putting it on the dash etc. Mine goes in a bin under the radio.

You are in fact much more f***ed with your ANR cameras.

Only because of the big cuts in the funding for the cops which means that there are fewer watching for people like you using your phone while driving.

And you lot are too stupid to even notice that if your ANR cameras also checked for those who are using their phones while driving, the cost of doing that would pay for the better cameras.

They only catch things like no insurance.

Actually they seem to be keeping up the same amount of traffic s*it, maybe as it's profitable. The pigs are moaning they don't have the money to solve real crimes.

But we don't want them doing that. Any government pissing off half the motorists rapidly loses votes.

We're talking about when someone is parked.

I'm not referring to one particular individual, but your lack of ability to sense when someone is homeless.

Odd how I've never been done ever for that, yet I'm always using the phone when driving. Yet I've had 9 speeding fines (and 18 others where I was let off), and 5 seatbelt offences (and 10 others where I was let off).
