This has to be the most stupid thing I have seen in recent times.
Why is it stupid, well because while I support a ban & fines for people using Mobile phones which are not hands free I DO NOT support a ban on all mobile use in cars including... hands free which I have & can use easily & still give the traffic & the road my full concentration.
If something happens like a truck coming too close etc I just stop talking as safety comes first.
I would say just a sec & then continue after danger was over or just stop talking straight away.
So I dont want my mobile use banned as it is safe for me just because others cant talk & drive at the same time lol
Ban the bad drivers & solve some of the issues!
I mean why should the people who can do this or that (safely) not be allowed because some others cant!
Maybe we should all be tested to see who can operate a hands free safely & who cant lol
So those who pass can use them & those who cant cannot.
Just as to get your license in the first place should be more about who can actually handle a vehicle in tricky situations without losing the plot & making stupid mistakes as a result of panicking etc & not just who can park the best
PS: I will keep using my phone on handsfree regardless
