On the rise?
« on: 24 August 2015, 19:49:44 »

On my travels I still see a number of drivers[mainly van drivers it must be said]driving along with their mobile phones pinned to their ears,however what does appear to me to be on the rise is the number of car drivers[among them driving instructors :o]I see driving about looking down as they've got their mobiles in their lap and are busy sending/receiving text messages >:(

I'd barely left the nic the other day, got to the end of the street and voila................numpty on his phone, so he got a dose. I'd only just put me pen away and got another coming the other way, quite blatantly on his phone & too distracted to see a bloomin great baten-burged BMW in front of him.  :o :o :o ::) ::) ::)

Will they ever learn????

Oh they do.... usually when a school child gets flattened and they wonder what the bump was. Alas, it's all too late then.

Confiscation would be a better measure.

Worse than drink drivers. Often idiotting the kerb or drifting towards you head on.

Im sure the French have a much better system in place.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

They do,  depending on the area of France,  its €100 fine, and phone is confiscated, or get a bit gobby and phone goes under front wheel, and drive forward. Job done, but effing safty in Blighty means cant do that, here.

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

It seems that it must be OK to use it handsfree holding it out in front of them ....... ala The Apprentice

I see it loads of times.
