We had a charger thing for our Nokia's in the old elite we had that when the phone rang you could talk through a small microphone and here the caller through the speakers.
Wouldn't mind one of them again but can't remember what they are called :-?

Keep you nose clean matey. It sounds like you need your licence. Just think of what life would be like without it
I've had a clean licence for nearly 26 years & i plan on it stopping that way

I agree with the law on phones …..but you have to laff don’t you.....isnt  using a police radio dangerous too whilst your driving ultimately  whener your having a conversation with a mike in your hand ….a phone in your hand ..,,,or concentrating on a “code blue”….from the station I would imagine that’s pretty dangerous too ….i find the police very hypercritical  talk about people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones  person 4 person the police have more accidents than anyone else

Hey Ho, tin of worms time....

Police radio's are treated the same as Taxi radio's or those used by council vehicles etc.  Exempt, but the laws on careless driving etc still apply, so flawed logic, I'm afraid.  A 'radio' is not a 'mobile phone' ....

Police more accidents than anyone else?  Whats your stats comparison?  Joe Public en masse?  Taxi Drivers?  Folks in white cars?  Again, flawed logic and stats, IMHO, unless you care to expand??....   :-/

Cant be arsed to dig too deep on your behalf, but heres the gist of what I currently understand.  If you want to find more, feel free to dig away...   

It is an offence to use a hand held mobile phone or an "interactive communications device", but there is an exemption for a two way radio which is designed or adapted -

(i) for the purpose of transmitting and receiving spoken messages; and
(ii) operates on any frequency other than 880 MHz to 915 MHz, 925 MHz to 960 MHz, 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz, 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz, 1900 MHz to 1980 MHz or 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz.

Ofcom states that you should be transmitting CB in the 27MHz range, if you are, you come within the exception and are OK. The exception was created because so many government and private organisations (e.g. taxis) use 2 way radios.

However, there is strong scientific evidence that any such activity (including fiddling with your CD player etc.) does raise the level of danger so far as accidents are concerned, so it is recommended that you do whatever you can to minimise use of transmitter buttons, tuning devices and volume controls. If something akin to hands free exists it would be a good idea.

Cheers thanks ......i rest my case
there are good cops & bad cops just like good builders & cowboy builders we are all only human was not a personal atack on you ...its strange though how its ok to use a cb and hold a mike but you cant hold a phone so basically it depends what frequency its on

The internet is a font of knowledge, if you care to look.

Like you, I have good days and bad days.  Today, you catch me on a bad day.  Tough....   

Tomorrow, you may have got a chapter and verse with step by step explanation as well as chocolate biscuits and a glass of milk half way through to aid concentration.  Today, unfortunately, thats not happening.... 

Not a personal attack on you either, mon ami.  Just venting forth in a similar style to your good self....
