This isn't a question of me been confused on how to handle them, i quite happily roll up next to them and ask them what the flump they're doin', make my observation known.

been pee'in me off no end this week, but what's everyone else do?

Ignore them, they're just one group of drivers paying no attention to the road, there are plenty of others who are less obvious.

I give 'em three points and a sixty quid fine.

If they're are at traffic lights I'll sit next to them and rev the bike its loud enough to stop their conversion

Tell them their "exhaust has just fallen off back there" at the next set of red lights. "Yeah it's just back there mate, I managed to miss it..." confuses the phuck out of them and they tend to get off the phone sharpish because they question whether they would miss something like that whilst on the phone

give them a wide berth. their money if they get caught. strange thing is almost every phone you can buy now has blutooth and headsets are cheep as chips and the biggest culprits are the ones driving flash cars.

Yep, 4x4 drivers round here seem to be the worst culprits at the mo.

and so with headsets been cheaper than a fine you'd have thought its a no brainer.

in fact im sure if its a flashy car the bluetooth can sync with the radio/speakers in the car, so not even any need to buy headset!?

i think Spank86 is on the right note tho really, if ya let it get to ya you'd be forever gettin riled.

going into zen mode now.
