Using phone while driving

[Neunelfer]

Just an observation. But isn't it amazing the extra ordinary lengths people go to to try and "cover up" the fact that they're on the fone! You've got the, elbow on door, head resting on hand with phone concealed in hand trick. The hold phone about 6 inches from mouth and shout into it trick. And of course the phone wedged between shoulder and jaw caper.
All of which are far more dangerous than the traditional method in the first place!!
I'm not a policeman by any stretch but they must have a field day looking at all these wally's.

Surely 50k motors have decent bluetooth?

You would have thought so, I drive a 4 year old transit van for work and even that has Bluetooth. When I take the old porker out the phone stays unanswered. It's 3 points isn't it?

See a lot of high end metal-911's, bentley's, with some twonk on their phone, almost daily.

It's crazy as these motors must have Bluetooth. Maybe the prospect of a few £ fine isn't a deterent

As I said in the original post, it's the ridiculous lengths people go to, to supposedly cover up the call that makes it more dangerous. Not sure on stats but surely holding a phone to your ear isn't too much different to, say smoking or eating while driving. Leaning on your palm while resting on the door is not a great driving position?
