Wonder if police and taxi drivers will still be able to use there radio's?

I've never understood this, as the problem with mobile phone use is now the holding of the handset yet taxi drivers and the police are able to use there radios of which they have to hold to press the transmit button. I know that they are not usually long conversations but I was in a car with a twat of a taxi driver who was talking to the dick head at the office for about 2 mins holding the radio the whole time.

Taxi drivers are not allowed to use radios.
Police didn't use to be able to, it had to be the passenger, not sure at the moment tho'

Police have hands free. Taxi drivers aren't allowed to use their radios. Although they way they drive you'd think they were allowed to do anything they want

3 points for not wearing a seatbelt now as well.
