This is one thing that really peeves me about drivers. We managed 15 years ago without urgent phone calls why can't yours ait 10 minutes for you to pull over somewhere safe?

Why not get motorcyclists to cruise up and around roads with cameras mounted to helmets taking pictures of phone users on the move. Split the fine 50/50 and I'll volunteer. I reckon I could easily make £150 an hour

how many of you gesture these drivers if you see them on the phone?

I'm often seen giving the

gesture at roundabouts etc.

don't think i've got the bottle to pull up next to them though and give them grief

I usualy give them a wave. it really confuses them. enough so a couple of times they have hung up.

i remember being in the car with my ex driving down the M8 to glasgow. she answerd her phone and kept saying "can't talk i'm driving" for about 10 min. her driving instantly went out the widow, and i was tempted to follow it. she was all over the lane, undertaking cars at about 90. was scary stuff.
