Driving using a mobile phone causes accidents

Mobile phones and dangerous driving

Put the phone down!

How many times have you seen it? Someone driving along the road with a mobile phone at their ear, meanwhile their car is swerving all over the road because the can't steer properly. Put the bloody phone down!



Finally they are looking at creating a specific law to punish thouse who are caught using a mobile phone whilst driving a car, and about time too!

03-9-2010 It's worse than some drink driving, I have seen loads of drivers even texting whilst driving, now with these new I phones etc I bet some of them will even be on facebook whilst driving.Gainsborough lad.
03-9-2010 Ok so its illegal.. but really this "crime" is just another piece of overreaction. The police seem to want to prosecute anyone who takes their hand off the wheel (remember the woman who was nicked for eating an apple in her car?) I do not support the use of phones to chat while driving anymore than I do any other form of poor driving but the figures (such as they are ) do not support the reaction. 0.3% of fatal accidents occured while a phone is in use (which doesn't actually mean it was the reason for the crash). So yes, we know its stupid. we know it impairs driving.. The real killers are excess speed and dangerous manoevres and these shoud be targetted first. I count using a phone to chat in moving trafic as a dangerous manoevre, but holding it or answering a quick call on an empty road as just stupidity; for which you shoud be penalised only if theres an accidentcheeese
05-7-2010 If you use your mobile phone whilst driving you deserve a kick up the A*SE!crazyperson
09-5-2010 HELLO POLICE -- TRY USING CAMERAS TO CATCH PEOPLE ON MOBILE PHONES. I could even demonstrate, for free, how to use a video camera to catch people on mobile phones, since I have yet to see evidence of police capability in this area. It's really simple. You get a video camera, you point it at traffic, and BEHOLD -- you catch people on mobile phones! Simple! I could literally stand outside my house and catch tonnes, with undeniable proof they were doing so! It's a quick and easy way of increasing police figures without really doing any work. Yet they don't seem to grasp this simple concept!James
03-4-2010 How about taking the phone and not allowing them to use the same contract,so no phone no numbers and 2 bills to pay on top of 6 points and £1000 fine.andy

17-9-2009 I saw some dozy cow driving while on her mobile phone this morning. It seemed like she couldn't care less! One of these days she's gonna plough into something (or worse still, someone). Anyone caught using their phone while driving should get a minimum fine of £500 and a 6 month ban for careless driving (or as I like to call it, driving like a bloody ar**hole!)kiwi
