[G4]

Got a ticket. Speaking on my cell phone while driving.
60 Euros. About the same in dollars.
AAAAAAArrrrgh! Me--->

Damn, with the 60 $ I coulda got one of those hands-free gizmos...
Is it legal to use a cell phone while driving in you country?

 

[Professur]

Getting more and more illegal everyday. Even in places where it's not specifically illegal, the police can still slap you with reckless driving if they feel you're letting it distract you.

i was told recently that it has been made illegal here, and about time too. i've nearly been killed by a few idiots weaving about while yapping on their mobi's

Damn, with the 60 $ I coulda got one of those hands-free gizmos...

that's why they sent the fines at 60

 

[Jeslek]

Legal, but they don't like it.

 

[Mirlyn]

Legal, and they don't give a shit unless you hit someone--no "almosts".

Legal, and they don't give a shit unless you hit someone--no "almosts".

Same way here. I'm with ris though, it needs to be illegal.

 

[Gonz]

no "almosts".

a foot is as good as a mile

 

[outside looking in]

What's a "cell phone?" Are there phones in cars now?

 

[Jeslek]

A mobile phone.

I think it's about damn time. Seen too many people that pay much more attention to their phones than the road.

 

[Aunty Em]

I think they need to up the fines and put points on your licence too. I've had some close calls with those idiots...

 

[ris]

maybe they're all in east anglia, my near misses have mostly been in suffolk

 

[Aunty Em]

OK, up the fines in Suffolk... being next door to them is a pain...

 

[ris]

at least you're not stuck next to naaaaarfolk

 

[Aunty Em]

[a13antichrist]

60 Euros. About the same in dollars.

You gotta be kidding. €60 is about $80 now...

 

[ris]
