I remember a week or so ago reading a thread started by one of the resident BiB's (Silverback Mike or Madcop I think....)

They had seen a biker texting whilst riding.

From memory, it was at a (relatively) low speed.

This morning on my way to the office, I was on the nearside lane of the M1 (which was pretty quiet - for a change!) doing about 75 or so....

I was passed slowly (ie he wasn't going much faster than me) by a BIG bike.... (I'm not a biker, but it was a beast of a machine) and the rider had one glove off, tucked under his arm, and was texting.

I wouldn't have believed it unless I had seen it with my own eyes.
