I really don't see what the problem is - it's just a sign that reminds drivers of the law, that's all.

You've just opened a


The law is "drive whilst using a handheld mobile phone"
The Tetra radios are not mobile phones, although they can be used as one. Our policy is to use the radio "in a safe manner" and not to use the phone function when driving.
Most vehicles now have an in-car set with a transmit button on the gear stick for single person operation.

But we're talking about the nation's elite drivers here, certainly in terms of adhereing to the law, and about the most basic of laws. Do you have a reminder notice to read every time you take your bike out of the garage "Don't forget to wear a helmet!"

For the avoidance of doubt this was posted by BoysinBluePete, talking about his works carpark!
