who times the crash?

I can't think it'd be too difficult to put a time to it, especially like in the example they used on the main news, where the HGV tok out a car on the motorway. There's enough CCTV watching over us all with a time/date mark on it.

Tacograph!  If it's a HGV... call's to 999 logged....  get your point though!

Anyway what about bl00dy smoking and driving..... that's equally as dangerous, smoke in the eyes, risk of dropping it and burning your b0ll0x, acting as a relaxant etc....

All needs addressing first.....

Sorry smokers, but, it's true...

thats fine under cctv but anywhere else the incident time is determined by when the ambulance call is logged.

I manage[size=12]d[/size] very well, along with many many others, for more than 20 years, & never had a crash or came close - saw loads in my mirrors .... !!  ;D
There's a load of distractions when you're driving .... kids being one of the biggest.

Have to agree - I followed a woman the other day in a clapped out fiesta with a baby in chair on front seat, and she was spending too much time on the child, not enough on the road

It is legal in the UK as long as the kid sits in a proper child seat either forward or rear facing. At least the child was in a seat, I've seen kids roaming loose in both the front & rear of cars and sat on Mum's knee in the front!

Absolutely. Got my bonnet stoved in once by a mother with a car full of kids having a tantrum.  >:(

Cow was uninsured too. Police didn't want to know and my insurance company gave up chasing her. >:(

If there's anything distracting you from driving your car safely, you have the option to pull over and sort it out.

Failing that, do what pilots do and prioritise things in order of importance: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.

In my opinion driving using handsfree is no different from having a conversation with another person in the car which I think is good on a motorway as it relieves the hypnotising effect and keeps you alert.
What they going to do next ban conversation altogether in a car. >:(
But I suppose you have to cater for idiots. ;D

That's going too far. Jesus Christ! I can feel a rant coming on. When are people going to realise that you just cant take all the risk out of day-to-day living? Driving is one of lifes pleasures and, God knows, we certainly pay enough for the priviledge. I, for one, will flout the no smoking law if it's ever introduced over here.
