Towy got caught (again)

[towman]

Don`t expect sympathy this time - got caught using the mobile on the M40.

Very nice Thames Valley trafpol, but still reported for the offence. Be warned peeps - there is zero tolerance from TVP. No excuses, no stories - you`re nicked!!

[Einion Yrth]

Oh well, at least no points accrue for that at the mo.

[towman]

No, but there is talk that it soon will.

So, don't do it again

Much as I hate blanket legislation because it stops good judgement (ie, someone making a quick call whilst sitting in a traffic jam) I broadly agree with this mobile phone thing.

I can't believe the number of people I'm seeing these days steering with one hand then knee while changing gear not indicating, swerving about with a phone at their ear in urban situations, particularly white van man and aggregate lorries. I'm sure the ban would stop accidents if people thought they were going to get caught so didn't do it.

TM if you need the phone on the go why on earth don't you have a handsfree by now?

You were caught once, and learned absolutely nothing from it.

Last time was for speeding

sean5302 said:

How stupid can a person be?

Dunno. Probably the worst case would be someone who makes a sanctimoneous post without knowing the full facts.

sean5302 said:

How many times will you need to be caught before you learn one thing?

Ok Mr Holier than thou, what did I not learn?

I'd recommend Specsavers.

I woudn't - I have found that my friendly local independent optician provides a far better quality service...

Oh I get it now. You want me to comply with anything and everything just because "it`s the law". Why are you on a motoring forum when all you do is ride a high horse?

[NiceCupOfTea]

Dead or alive, you're coming with me creep!

Towy, get a lanyard for the handsfree and keep it round your neck. Don't need to have the silly thing clipped to your ear all the time and you know where it is and don't lose it. Got mine from Carphone Warehouse.

Before I jump to your every command Mr Obergruppenfuhrer, could you please tell me why not?

I ride a Honda Fireblade.

Why have such a fast bike when the law gives a max speed?

You still haven`t answered my question btw

This chap cannot even see traffic police.

When caught speeding I was in the bunk asleep (cruise control) and got caught with camera by unmarked trafpol with "Hawkeye" at the wheel within two seconds of picking it up.

I reckon you are eligible for a reduced-price tv licence. Can you see why?

No because I don`t see everything in black and white as you appear to.

Hmmm, I may well be wrong, but sounds like the laws governing speed might have been abused slightly
