BEING ON THE PHONE AND CAUGHT

[CGH]

I KNOW I SHOULD,NT HAVE BEEN ON THE MOBILE BUT....!!!!! I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT TWICE THIS WEEK, £120 FINE AND 6 POINTS, HAS ANYONE GOT ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO GET AWAY OR OFF THESE? IS IT WORTH GOING TO COURT OR JUST TAKE IT ON THE CHIN?

Try not using the phone when driving.

And TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!!!

Certainly havent & even if I did wouldnt tell you.

If you dont like the punishment, dont drive around like a tool with your mobile strapped to your ear. FFS, hands free now-a-days are a pittance.

[tsuiyasu toshiha]

Twice??!!









Do the crime do the time. You know the law and as if one fine(read:hint) didn't make you realise then!

[Mattt]

Once, a momentary slip up.

Twice, in a week, you deserve it.

Don't most phones come with hands free devices just plug in the bottom and away you go

Most of them you can just press the loudspeaker button! (Not that it gets round the law though, but means you are unlikely to get caught).

Yup, one of my pet hates and there is really no excuse

Sorry....but you've been caught and I don't know of any way out...twice in a week! Someone's trying to tell you something

Lots of hands free kits for less than 120 notes.

And I absolutely love the way that after you first got caught you didn't think "oooh shit, I better be careful now"

[Jasandjules]

I seriously wouldn't suggest going to court, I suspect you'll have full costs awarded against you when they notice the same offence twice in the same week.

Pay the Pension tax..

You won't get much sympathy here.....

go to court, seriously ignore the rest of them & go to court. claim you were in full control & the law is an arse. oh remember to go in scruffy clothes & shout 'wr' at the copper who ticketed you as he gives evidence.

they'll at least award the chance to pay costs as well you braindead cock. shame they cant take tts like you off the road right away, please do it twice more next week to finish the job.

If the OP plugs it in the bottom, he'll have to shout to be heard!

The way the OP was shouting, i thought he had the loudspeaker turned on. Actually, it does "get round" the law, that only says you can't hold it.

Just for a moment, let's all take a step back.

Originally, using a mobile phone, while driving, was not illegal.

And we all did it.

Now, it's not legal.

And some people still do it.

Some use it for 10 seconds, while concentrating fully on the road ahead.

Others, be it on hands free or otherwise, have a 30 minutes sales catch up.

It's not right. And it's not wrong.

Either it is right or it's wrong.

It's wrong.

Don't do it.

Like speeding?

Just so we are clear....

Why can'y we just have offences of DWDC and DD without anything else?

You drive like a tt, you get done.

Be that with or without:

A cigarette, food, mobile, nothing...

End of.

Whatever.....

I just know that I have nearly had two head on crashes in six months, the first person was busy texting driving a 40 ton truck, the other a stupid bint with a phone in one hand and banana in the other trying to juggle the two on a narrow country road.

Tossers.

Perhaps increasing the penalty to 6 points and £200 might make them think twice.....
