Never.

I keep thinking about getting a Bluetooth headset because it would be useful in other situations as well, but I haven't got round to it yet. Even then, I don't think anything is so important that it can't wait for me to pull over in 5-10 mins and call the person back.

Personally' date=' I put it on loud speaker and rest it on my chest.

Even this breaks the law. The handset must be fixed in place to be used.

So' date=' if a lady were to "wedge" the phone in to her clevage, would that be ok?

People have to start looking at this like not wearing a seatbelt or even drink driving. Fact is if you are using a phone whilst driving without it being genuinely hands free it's dangerous.

Have to agree - I'm constantly amazed by the number of people prepared to spend thousands of pounds on a car, (probably) hundreds of pounds on a phone, and not spend

Funny you should say that - I walked past a lass the other day in town and she had an, er, significant, cleavage (not that my eyes were drawn to it of course ), and wedged in the middle of the enormous pink orbs the was a bright pink mobile phone.

As soon as I got the Octy I had a Cat 1 alarm and Bluetooth handsfree fitted.

The number of people who still use mobiles while driving amazes me - went a walk tonight. At the end of our street a woman was turning in, gassing on her phone and steering with one hand

Closely followed by a 38 tonne artic with the driver doing exactly the same :eek::eek:

He was turning too :thumbdwn::thumbdwn:

Remember, Rob, you're upside down - that was her backside ! (-:

i hate myself.

only if its my phone,and my jabra is dead.balls to the work phone.

going to put my jabra on charge right now.

and give myself 40 lashes.

I have a Samsung D600 so cannot get a proper cradle but I always use a bluetooth headset and keep the phone in the ashtray under the head unit.

Technically speaking it's probably still illegal but at least I only have to touch the phone if I want to dial out - just putting the headset on answers it if it rings while I'm driving.

Way I see it is even if that's not legal I'm doing all I can so stuff them!

Hate people who hold it to their ear while driving - Rsoles!

I have a fully integrated car kit, but, sometimes if I'm in a different car, without handsfree, I may answer it if the car is stopped in traffic.

If you drive whilst using a mobile you need locking up before you cause a serious accident and kill someone. Its about time drivers got the message.

I have been at traffic lights. The car behind, driver on phone and a Police car was behind him.....Police don't seem to be bothered, too much paperwor!!...

Could take the French approach and make people run over their phones or jump on them. That'll get the message across.

I don't like distractions when driving so if the phone goes off, I'll bash the end-call button and let it go to answerphone. Then I'll find somewhere to pull-over and take the call.

I'm not sure if you're talking the p*** there - do there do that?

I do that that confiscation is a great idea for this. Appart from costing more than the fine, it also ensures that they won't do it again immediately!

I've got a cheap holder that sits in the air vent and have it on loudspeaker. It astounds me how many people I see using and holding their phones whilst driving. I overtook a one series earlier that was only doing about 45/50 in an NFL, as I was going past he was getting shouted at to get off his phone by my passenger

Not every Police officer does nothing about it, I know one that is so annoyed by seeing people on their phones that when they stop them they go over their car with a fine tooth comb. After all, if you think it's still acceptable behaviour to use your mobile who knows what else you could be doing?

From Tuesday it will be a 3 point offence.

Hang on - I've just noticed you said she had a pink one wedged between her boobies....

Wrong.

Brodit do a D600 phone holder specifically for it. Bolt it to a dashmount bracket or something and there you go..perfect.
