Driving whilst talking on mobile phone.

Anyone caught on the phone whilst driving, should have the vehicle scrapped.

 

Well, if they own it, if not jail them

 

hear, hear, and for speeding.

so back to the other members question....

 

were you caught for using the phone or driving without due care and attention?

 

my guess is the later as the officer considered the manner of your driving was impaired by 'something' .

 

eitherway it stands in my books, no officer would waste their time issuing you with a ticket 'just' because you had the device in your hand, there must have been another reason that you are not telling us about or are not aware of because it is your normal driving habit [good or bad]

My husband reported a stolen van on bank holiday monday he has lost all his tools which are his livelyhood and not one member of the police have even been to see him to take a statement. He was driving last night when someone text him- the pone lit up so he glanced at it and got stopped and issued a ticket. IMO the police are not here to help the public but to hit targets!!!!

 

 

so because he had his van stolen, you think you are being victimised or they are in the wrong place and should be finding your van?

 

i just glanced at my phone officer.

someone texted me but , but , but

i didnt even press a button. but, but but

 

how many 1000's of other excuses are people going to use or put fwd to to justify their 'special' dispensation to do what they like, without a care for anyone else.

 

a glace can kill a cyclist or a dog or a kid.

 

simple. don't do it, abide by the law.

 

as i said before

 

the only way to stop it is to BAN people.

 

a phone call is not more important than a life.

NO, I think they SHOULD have helped look for his van (is that not why I pay my taxes?) They SHOULD NOT have lost the initial report!!! They SHOULD have come to see him when he waited in for two whole days waiting for their advised appointments!!! to name but a few thing they SHOULD have done but DIDN'T!!

 

Apart from the fact that the thieves had our front door key as well!!

 

 

I agree that people should not talk on mobiles!!! But is it against the law to glance at one???? NO!! Should e be banned for glancing at his phone? NO Read the post properly!!! There was NO PHONE CALL!!! He glanced at it because it lit up - no more no less! He NEVER speak or texts while driving as he knows it is dangerous!!

 

If a glance can kill how are people supposed to check speeds, petrol gauges, mirror etc....???

 

sorry, should be banned, turn your phone off in the car.

 

p'haps, if all the police were not dealing with people like yourselves that believe it is ok to 'just' .... then they might be available for 'more important things' in your minds eye.

 

a complete ban of the use of mobiles should be implemented.

don't comply........you get banned.

By people like yourselves you mean honest laws abiding citizens who have never even ad a speeding/parking ticket.

You are a narrow minded person who as not got a clue about people like me!!

 

I have spoken police today who agreed that the officer in question may have been a little over zealous and you are telling me my husband should be banned???

 

You would obviously be more comfortable living in a dictatorship and are not worth any more of my time!!

 

your situation here is being a victim of the rules as they stand.

as you have said, hubby does it for a living and if the rules were 'turn off you phone' it would not have been on i'm sure .

 

thats why i say ban them and ban any driver using one whilst at the wheel.. simple.

@VOR...but you should not even consider doing it in the first place.

sorry, shows an attitude of total disregard and contempt for others.

no excuse in my books.
