Under pressure to do something about car accidents involving cell phones, the industry-backed Cell Phone Safety Council today launched a public service campaign urging users to "scream like hell" before impact, thereby alerting callers on the other end that there is some kind of trouble.

Or you could just hang up the phone and then dial 999!

999 call:-

"My friends been in a car accident"
"and where is your friend?"
"on the end of the phone..."

What the Fd are they supposed to say! Whenever I talk to someone who is drving I usually hear the say, "Hang on, I'm coming up to a roundabout" then the phone gets put down on the seat until they are at the other side!
What happens if they crash on the roundabout, you dial 999 and say "my friend crashed on a roundabout." "Which One?" "Dunno!"
They really haven't thought this one through!

But I guaruntee thatall numpties and biddies will drive everywhere with the phone to there ear now!!

hmm, now is alfa dave being sarcastic about tvraddicts comments, or was tvraddict being humourous and just "pretending" that it was in fact real and as such would make a great rant! Which would mean that the latter is now laughing

Or do I have no sense of humour, dont get "it" and should just accept that I am infact a closet numpty...or am I being "humourous"
