I NEVER answer my phone while driving unless im on a motorway and its dead, but today made that stupid error and a cop car clocked me

3 points later and £60 worse off ive learned my lesson, trust it to be one of the first times and i get caught

ARGH

Sarah

 

you silly bint

 

Leats you wont be doing that again

 

never mind sarah still got 9more points to go

 

i thought i had 3 remaining, the nice policeman checked and informed me theyd all been removed

 

bluetooth hands free needed i think. been very close a few times before i got a bluetooth headset. was on the phone to a mate in the van with no seatbelt on,saw the copper and dropped my phone in my lap,mate heard every word and was pissing himself,just got a telling off for the seatbelt.

 

yeah i think i could do with one tbh, although i dont tend to drive around all day lol

 

Happened to me last year while i was stuck in traffic.
There was a police van up my arse so didnt even know it was the police
A bit harsh considering iv never been pulled for anything before.

 

got me a year ogo,, first pionts in 20 years ,,,,, i got a blue tooth handsfree parot,, i spend more time fooking about with that when trying to call out ,, it will cause an accident , for incoming its fine ,,, but i cant honestly see the problem calling someone on speed dial, or answering a call,, you need to take hands off the steering wheel with a hands free unless you have every number you would ever need on Voice recognition.


I drive around 100 miles per day , sat in my transit ,, the biggest thing that fooks me off is the amount of people texting!!! and i must say it is predomanantly women too.




unlucky sarah

 

schoolgirls cant drive....

 

i think u should be given a fine every time u speak............in the car...in the house....under water..............

 

neither can sarah lol

 

yeah and give dicko the money so he can buy another cossie

almost like a swear box for when you speak lol ,




beef

 

serves you right really, i mean when your driving whats the chances of the call being SO important that it cant wait 10-15 mins until your journey ends?

I just wait till im home or to where im going and ring back

 

thing is beef i dont want another cossie lol

 

dont believe you for a minute,, phone rings people pick em up, simple ,,,what if the call is SO important?????

 

NOT good! I'd feel like a right belle end if i got points for that and hence dont use the phone while driving now!

It ranks up there with getting points for parking on zig zags or running a red light as things i NEVER want done for as they are ridiculous!

 

Oh, I thought this topic would contain pictures of you dressed as a St Trinians schoolgirl and the error was you had dropped your pencil so you have to bend over to pick it up just as the pictures were taken

 

Agreed, if you are going to get points, you may was well have some fun doing it

 

got a bluetooth kit in the car that comes through the radio, but i kno what you mean, takes more hassle to work out what buttons to press rather than just answer the phone

unlucky

 

Not me, a sad way of getting 3 points, and closer to being banned.

 

I turn my phone off when in the car. sorted

 

Or get Bluetooth!

I'd be lost without my in car bluetooth.

 

I presume most know even touching an earpiece button is worthy of 3 points too?

 

so whats the point of having them defeats the object really

 

Can I be done for being on the phone when I pull up and answer it? I don't turn my engine off and I don't pull up in a daft place.

Benni.

 

if you dont turn off your engine your in control of the vehicle IIRC, same as if you were drunk and sat in a car with engine running you could be prosecuted.

someone who knows will no doubt correct me

 

People get killed becouse they are using phones and not paying attention!

 

correct

 

Even if you are sat in car asleep in a layby, and the keys are in your pocket, you can still be done for being drunk, ridiculous though it sounds!

 

So pressing the answer button on my head unit (my head unit is bluetooth enabled) can earn me a fine and points????

How the fuck am I meant to answer it then!!!!

This sounds totally fucking ridiculous. People change the radio station, turn the volume up or down but cannot press ONE button to answer a call? I've seen people actually scanning for a station whilst driving before....I'm just going to press one button

 

What?!? That's ridiculous; talk about stupid laws.
