Default driving while using a phone 3 points

..in the paper last night changing the law in 3 months
caught using a phone driving
£ 60 fine

a mate was on a fireblade on a round about
55 year old women on the phone pulled out on him
both legs fooked she admitted i was talking at the time
but that wont save him from the bone grafts & alike
1 ankle turned 180 the wrong way ..plus rest of
his life fooked pins every where in both legs.

I agree with Katie on this one. I too ride and it scares the sh!t out of me the amount of people i see eating, using phones and............... smoking, yes smoking now forgive me but if you drop a mobile phone in your lap... hey what the heck, but drop a fag and you will sooner or later know about it

I am fully behind the ban phones though

handsfree kits are allowed, its holding a mobile, or having an ear piece, bluetooth etc is fine, tho u cant fiddle with ur fone etc....

i see lorry driving massive lorries stearing round a roundabout with one hand whilst they chat on teh fone....

thats shocking!
