Who cares. Maybe the next vigilante will be better at the job as the police obviously arent. I've seen them drive past people driving whilst speaking on the phone.

I prefer people with headsets. Some of them make me laugh out loud.

Who cares? I care. you should care, if somebody slashed your tyres thinking you'd been on the phone whilst driving and you hadn't, you'd say "fair play, the odds were against me this time...."

Never happen. I only ride the bike and its difficult to break that particular law. Odds would truely be against me.

I need some new tyres anyway.

you're not helping me here are you! i was hoping you'd maybe put yourself in the position of an innocent man who's been wronged!

where do you live? i'll see if i can get somebody to slash your tyres for you. all in the name of law an order of course

The one I liked was where someone had stolen a Camden Council wheel clamped and used it on a parking wardens van which was on double yellow lines

How would you feel if someone slashed your bike tyres and left a note to say 'You have been seen speeding' or 'You were seen undertaking'

I think sometimes we bikers (including myself) are guilty of adopting a 'holier than thou' attitude.

Can't say that in my wildest fantasies I do not see myself doing bad things to people driving while talking on the phone.

Me either, except maybe a few hand signals that you wouldn't find in the Highway Code (my other half is worse for that when she's pillion, but then, some car drivers need to be woken up/interrupted in their conversation imo).

As was previously said, fair play about the note, but it should of been left at a note. No need to go slashing tyres. He thinks about doing that on my Ford Galaxy & he'd better not get caught. That sodding thing costs me £160/corner for continentals!

The clamping of illegally parked traffic wardens was brilliant. Pulling a knife and slashing someones tyres is demented. What would happen if someone caught the tyre slasher in the act - a fatal stabbing? Sounds like a mental case to me - shame some people think its acceptable.

If only the police could enforce the law more often - anyone talking on a mobile should be pulled and fined and have 3 points on the license.

Can imagine following someone and giving them a piece of my mind there and then but it's a bit creepy if someone is following people home then sneaking back after dark to slash their tyres. Wonder if they have access to DVLA database?
