Well she was banned a week before this one came to court. So she now has a 20 month ban, and when she gets her licence back, she'll have 6 points, starting on the re-issue date. Like she'll be able to afford to insure a car after that lot :roll:
However, this is the sort of this we all see every day, but my biggest annoyance is seeing people in £30k plus cars, holding a phone... With all that money, why didn't they spend another £150 on an in car phone kit ??? I just don't understand it...

You already know the answer to this.
It's because they're ****s.

Oh you mean the mercedes driver in the roundabout nearby? Felt sorry for him as he had to change the phone's hand to be able to make it through the corner and change down a gear. :? Poor fellow, it must be hard having to do that. :? I guess he even had to use his neck to hold the phone for a while. Can you imagine the pain, not to mention the hazard he puts himself into by driving with a tilted head? :? Sheesh... :roll:

I tend to like the look on their faces when you start revving the bike next to their window... as we drive on the right, driver's seat is on the left... ops, right by the can. :twisted: Shame my can is still the stock one, it won't do much damage, but the "hey man I'm trying to talk on the phone here" look on their faces is priceless... :roll:

Used to do this on the SV with the high-level Hindle race can I had :twisted: I've made vans flinch before now with the noise it made. Them were the days.
Coming back up the motorway last week i saw a girl on her mobile chatting away couldn't get her attention at all she was miles away
Try blipping the horn when the bloke (always is) in front is picking his nose, that good for a chuckle :)
I was riding to work this morning and some rep in a vectra was on the phone at the wheel. He was going round a corner and was in another world as he was just able to stop before rear ending someone. As i rode past him i blipped the throttle and when he looked i just gave him the w@nker sign....felt the right thing to do :D

I'm tempted to get louder cans just for this very purpose.
I was stopped at lights recently next to a guy in a porsche. He was chatting away on his mobile (obviously he couldn't afford bluetooth), so I revved my engine and moved forward a few inches. He saw me move and thought that the lights had changed. He was half way across the junction when he realised that they were still red. I hope that made him think twice about using a mobile when driving.
I'm very tempted to take someones phone and drop it. Probably will one day if someone nearly hits me because they're chatting and not concentrating.

On the other hand I've had an arseh*le swearing at me because I gently (really!) pointed out that he shouldn't be using his phone while stuck in the middle of traffic... :? The guy was in a VW Passat, I was on the SV... I was glad the SV could fit between the cars in front. :?

Something similar happended to me. I was filtering between cars queueing for a roundabout and there was a guy in a left-hand-drive (remember this is the UK) BMW blocking me. I squeezed past him and saw that he was on the phone, so tapped on his window. He got out of his car and tried to chase me. So picture this - Speed Triple 1050 being chased by a guy on foot. Guess who won? :D

Onlt because he was so busy laughing he dropped the bike.
Being an idiot is one thing, publicising the fact on the internet is another.

The one about women being able to multitask is priceless, how they can say women are more careful drivers is byond me on that evidence.

Well your girl managed to make national T.V. news over here in Spain yesterday! Even they took exception to her antics,which is saying something when at times the level of driving here is frankly abysmal. With road death rates continuing to be ridiculously high. :?
if only means tested fines did work...the rich snobs say im on £50k a year, (not that everyone earning that is a rich snob) but i have a £600k house with a massive mortagage and a £30k car im still paying off and the insurance on that, then the heating etc for the house is loads, so in reality i only have £300 spare a month...and the court says ok heres a £300 fine then...
really is no real justice anymore, its a myth

Jane Shilling (in her Friday column in the Times) makes a very good point:

Just search for Andrew Wilkinson (or scroll down near the bottom of the page) and tell me she's not right. Why does the press always seem to ignore most of the more important stories?

Probably because normal "important stories" aren't that sensational. Remember the majority (not all) of british media relies on sensationalism to shift papers from the shelf.
I agree though, the papers always pick up on the small issues, spin them and then report it as gospel truth.
In a similar vein the bloke i sit next too at work rang his wife this morning somthing like "Hello Darling you driving? I've told you not to use the phone in the car" He then proceded to have a 10 minute conversation with her. The look on his face when i called him a pratt was priceless, he really couldn't see what he'd done wrong.

Its probably not safe or polite and definately not legal but I bought a cell phone jammer and have loads of fun with the little thing. Today a woman putting eyeliner on whilee trying to talk on the phone and oh yes driving,I gave her a wave made a hand gesture like hanging the phone up hit the jam button and lights out!
When people hear I have one they either love it or hate it,well to each their own.
Thanks to the good ol Uk for having such a thing available to me. You cant buy one in the land of the free.

My twin brother (and a biker, so should know better) has been done twice for using his mobile whilst driving. He now pulls over to make/take calls. So I know that the law must be enforced.
So why is it that I forever see people using their phones whilst driving. Having a shave etc.
I must admit my guilt to using the PDA sat nav whilst driving. my phone is proper hands free and I avoid using it. Yet I see people texting.
However the law and its enforcement is a complete ass when it comes to being in control. People being done for having a swig out of a bottle, or eating an apple. yet they don't seem to do anyone for lighting up a cig or eating a sweet.
I have realised in the past that there have been times I have concentrated on tuning my radio and not looking at the road. are you technically out of control when you let go of the wheel with one hand to change gear.
But the worst crime I often see. is the lady driver. I am sorry but I only ever see ladies do this.
When they have a passenger, they turn their heads to look at the passenger as they are talking to them. therefore looking at their passenger and not the road. I have followed women for miles up the motorways in disbelief at thier antics.
Just seen this in the Times:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2117283,00.html
Makes interesting reading, particularly the information that next year the fine for using a mobile whilst driving will go up from £30 to £60 plus three points on your licence - which might make a big difference once the general public become fully aware of it.

Saw a guy driving through Piccadilly Circus this morning doing a Soduko puzzle this morning.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr using a mobile while driving annoys me the most because there just is no excuse for it. Its not like bluetooth or hands free kits cost the earth.
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Saw a guy in a 4x4 (it's always them isn't it) reading some A4 pages whilst going through some roadworks along a dual carriageway last week - kept swerving all over the place, tried to get his attention to stop it but couldn't. Wish I'd been on the bike, carbon knuckles on the window might have gotten his attention, although on second thoughts he'd prolly have swerved into me & killed me...
