Like I said, talking on the phone isnt a problem usually, its just ive seen too many folk swerving about & pulling daft last minute maneuvers for no other reason that there line of site has been directed towards the ground while they stealth text some bint.
Again this will be the minority, most folk have the skillz to multi-task & will say I can do all sorts safely.
So, I see your talking on the phone while driving & raise you eating a 16" pizza out a box while driving barefoot.....now that is hard!!  BUT IS IT ILLEGAL

If someone went into me cause he or she was on his phone I'd just be telling them that they are going to be fixing my car on their insurance

see lots of badgers doing this in London every day and some have the capacity to drive and others have no ability at all.
It all comes down to those who present the biggest risk and cause massive accidents, I cannot count the number of times I have nearly been tipped off my bike by badgers on the phone.

There should be a law that if you hit a bike it's the bike's fault, under all circumstances.

So, if they wrote off your pride & joy & you stood to loose out, just because some retard was texting mother asking what was for tea that night, you wouldnt consider Vinny Jones'ing them with their own door?
Im not sure I could keep calm.

If they denied everything that I'm sure something would have to be done to prove it, not exactly violence but theres plenty of ways to prove it I would imagine... witnesses, CCTV (as its fucking EVERYWHERE!), telephone records which the police can get quite easily I would imagine if it involved giving someone points, they would be all over it.
I had to convince a taxi driver on Saturday he was in the wrong for reversing into my car cause we were both stationary and he then decided to reverse without looking in his mirrors, I even tooted my horn. Irish cunt.

People should just get meaqns tested on their abilities tbh, theres a wide spectrum of skill out there & tbh some of the mongs ive had the displeasure of meeting in this life time who have the same rights as myself shouldnt be allowed past licking the back window never mind driving a car with a phone attached to the chubby side of their face!!
Giving a monkey a gun comes to mind.

What the problem is here and Tony has raised it already is that the majority of idiots on the road have difficulty driving without distraction, throw a mobile into the mix and it's a receipe for disaster.
If my phone goes I put it on loud speaker, I don't see why people hold their phones to their faces you don't need to?

I'm deaf as a post, can never hear it when it's on that shitty speaker, always cuts out so I only get half words.
Especially when the engine is being ragged, seatbelt beeper etc. It's too noisy!

i think points are bit excessive i mean i feel that talking on the phone at times is not as bad as having someone in the car as you tend to look at ther person etc plus if you only have one arm does that you mean you are a poor driver?
Luckily i have bluetooth and voice cotnrol so am ok now
