jamie well, I liked it 😆

…hmmm, it seems your memory is as bad as your attitude when in a car.

Someone’s had a productive morning. Still doesn’t mean what you think it means.
Try doing something that matters now.
I thought half term had finished.

captainsasquatch, have you ever thought about joining the Lodge of Big Hitters?

I welcome the idea, but there are so few police on the roads it just seems like lip service.

Ok the odd person that gets caught will be in a world of pain and rightly so, but statistically speaking, it’s business as usual and people will continue to eat their bowl of coco pops on the morning commute.

The only time I have to post on here these days is whilst I’m driving 🙁

Can you lot type in BOLD please, I’m having to squint reading this.

Question. If your phone is attached to a windscreen holder, are you ok to touch it to make calls, hang up, enter sat nav details etc ? Or is it an offence to simply touch the thing.

Me and singletrackmind was driving back from a ride on the weekend – van in front in the slow lane – I says – “He’s on the phone in front”. STM says “How can you tell?” – well, being Iggy Pop in this case (thanks Jamie), I was watching the van as it was unable to hold a position in the lane, wasn’t swerving about violently, just enough to know th driver wasn’t paying full attention to what he was doing. We get next to him – phone is in a holder on the dash, he’s leaning forward over the wheel tapping the screen. STM leans on the horn, van man doesn’t even notice.
So yeah, it has to include that as well.

I’m still allowed to play with my iPod Classic whilst driving, so I’m glad about that.

I’ve had to give commentated drives

That Surrey guidance is the first time I’ve seen any clear guidance on this.

I have my phone in Android Auto mode, stuck on a magnetic CD slot mounted holder. It is bluetooth connected and if I need to make a call I use voice activation to do this, I do not need to touch the phone at all. I listen to music on Spotify via the phone and occasionally will fast forward or swap a track by pressing one button on the phone. I use phone sat nav but always use voice to operate this. I may toggle between spotify and satnav by pressing once on the phone screen. I am never holding the phone.

By my reading of the rules I am legal. Anyone disagree?

Anyone disagree?

No.

I do pretty much the same as you. Works great.

or use a cycle if you want to use your phone while commuting
