No seatbelts.
Fiddling with phones and other crap.
Not looking where they’re going.

Just wondering if they had a UK depart, would they be up for prosecution, or are they exempt if the road is closed?

Probably exempt on closed roads.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read that the tour has some rules around this

no wonder cars from the caravan run into the riders of rear ends other cars.

it’s a race closed roads exempt…next they will be running over riders [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5QoQpuSkEQ[/video]

The closed roads legal situation has no effect on rider/spectator safety.

Not sure what you’re on about – that’s pretty standard driving behaviour over here…

yeah mentioned it on the other thread, scary stuff.

what about the other guy with the phone “look ma no hands”
Or does watching the race on your phone/phablet not count as mobile use

As you well know in the UK you can run over and kill a cyclist and avoid any real punishment (numerous instances as made apparent by threads on here) so it seems like a silly question really!
