They’ve done drink driving. They’ve done phones. Tuning the radio has to be next. Or talking. Maybe talking. Maybe singing. If they see you moving your mouth, you’re done for.

Surprised they don’t ban kids. They’re a distraction. Anyone caught flouting the law with a kid to their ear will be made to re sit secondary education

Pushing “Using a phone” over into “holding a choc bar” or “twiddling the radio” is the mass culprit’s way of trying to take the public urge away from “doing them”.

“If they bother you, they might miss us” or perhaps even “If they bother you, you might repeal this law that only hurts us”.

Not good public spiritedness that.

As for me, as a law and order freak - I’d like to see 100% of people using phone at the wheel busted - and 0% holding anything else in your hand whilst driving, including your boyfriend’s neck. :stuck_out_tongue:

I dont understand any of what you’ve written winseer [emoji38] . I was joking myself. I also don’t have a boyfriend. I’m straight.

Those people disgruntled at being the victims of a reasonable safety request “not to phone and drive” are trying to play the “what about” political game that deflects blame onto people that have twiddled with radio knobs, eaten food, and swigged cans of coke in their cab for generations by this point. It’s not the “item in the hand” that is the distraction - it’s the heated conversation or concentration on the little screen that causes one’s driving skills to drop down to the level of a four-year-old. It won’t become socially unacceptable to “phone and drive” until EVERYONE seen doing it - gets busted. It has to at least become as socially unacceptable as drink driving.

The BF gag was a reference to the kinda crap that female drivers come up with as to “what’s in your hand madam?” It would be something to admit “Oh Officer, I was handling my guy here” instead of “I was on the phone” eh? :smiley:

That’s not making it socially unacceptable, that’s DICTATING how society should act, a very dangerous game to play in a country that values democracy so strongly
