I was recently driving in my car when a black fiesta in the outer lane to me blew his horn and motioned to me to hang up my phone.
(now I drive very rarely & use a mobile almost never, so waste your breath flaming me if you want, but on this occasion I wanted to. The car is an automatic so arguably i would not be anymore short of a spare hand than someone in a manual using a handsfree - I agree that the act of being on the phone is the distraction, but that is not what's illegal)
Anyway on to the story - I put the phone down for a bit then carried on with my phone conversation. A long time later the same car pulls along side me & the driver identifies himself as a Police Office showing me his badge (in a wallet) he then proceeds to drive off on his merry way at speeds (on my speedo) of 90-95mph.
So is that a very good example to set? Should I report him?
