Over here even touching a mobile phone while the engine is running is an offence. So no excuses anyway.

Interesting, the RSGB even give legal guidance to keep in your glovebox to show to a cop if stopped. I hadn't checked for a while. Best get myself a headset not that I use it much these days...

Last one I dealt with, in August, the guy was scrabbling around and looking on his back seat for some code book or other whilst talking to a contact and drove into the back of a car stationary at traffic lights. As to "legal guidance", if in the opinion of a Police officer, the driver's standard of driving fell below that expected of a reasonably competent driver, he or she would be reported for careless driving regardless of any aide memoire the driver might have and regardless of whether an accident occurred |

You need a Webasto Parking heater then like wot we've got
Seriously though I'm glad this thread has made you all aware of the crazy law & hopefully will have saved you some points & some dosh. Now this last comment got "removed" last year........... wonder if it will now we all know what a silly Law this really is. Let the Law see "as little as possible" going on inside your car would be my advice & get some Privacy Glass (especially the rear one) Stay within the Law using your phone obviously & ensure the Tint level is within the Law too, but at least you can have privacy & keep the Law out of your face.

Its the government that create all these stupid laws. The police are under pressure, again from the government for "performance indicators", so if low for that month will find an easy target. How about, if we are not in our cars and see a cop not wearing his belt etc, get a pic of hi & the reg of the car on your mobile, and report him to his inspector? Also we must be aware that if we get "an itch" when driving not to scratch it if there's a cop about. |
