Mobile phone using drivers
 
When will they ever learn


This numpty only gets 21 months behind bars for killing whilst using a mobile.

She even had the audacity to tell the court that in her opinion there were time when using a mobile phone whilst driving was acceptable.

HTB, Head the Ball... AKA Thick as F***. Its because people are so thick and badly educated that they cant figure out its bad. How much harder is it to do anything when you are on the phone. For example if im playing a game and on the phone (Unreal Tournament 3 for example) ill either play the game and miss the convo or get murdered in the game and talk. Its OBVIOUS the effect it has.

Would be interesting to try it on something like Grand turismo and show people how it works to people.

Its the same with drink driving though, try a racing game (or Grand theft auto, maybe better example) after a few drinks and ill bet money you cant drive any where near as well as when sobre. So annoying. :smt072

Thick people. Bah!

I hope that the CPS appeals this sentence, which is woefully inadequate. The reality is that she killed somebody. As Tim says, her attitude stinks.

On my way to Soho on Friday night I was behind someone at some trafic lights who was all over the place when pulling away, so I just pulled up alongside and kept pace with them, then applied my thumb to my horn button and left it there.

The stock horn on the Z750 might not be up to much, but the Stebel Magnum and the Stebel Nautilus I have added alongside it got the message across in about 10 to 15 seconds.

I think this is the best way of dealing with these twonks.

I find that bouncing the bike off the rev limiter is also a good way to attract attention to them. :D

Looks like she was actually texting which you could argue is even worse than talking on a phone. Guess she won't have her phone whilst inside, but as has been said I just feel for the victims family.
