How to Annoy Mobile Phone Users

[Visitor Q]

Has anyone thought of buying one of them 6mm bb electric uzis... Fill with 6mm paintballs or indeed normal bb's if you cant be arsed to risk it jamming/not popping on contact.
Traffic lights with normal cockish cage driver on phone etc, take gun out of pocket, safety off, *spray* all over their windows/car etc.
Should also work rather well backwards, reasonable to the side (at low speeds) but not too smart an idea forwards.

p.s. if you dont want to get done for firearms offences paint the gun yellow with pretty colours on it or something.

that OR i believe in the anarchists cookbook they say you can stick a spark plug through the end of your exhaust and hook it up to the alternator etc, alledgedly lights the emissions. I dunno, might work

Ive found that ideots who talk on phones whilst driving have been replaced by a new menace.
Those who stop their car, turn off the engine and answer the phone. allthough this is the right thing to do, some do it in the most STUPID of places! i nearly went up the back end of a car yesterday because some woman had stopped on the exit of a blind bend to have what looked to be a girly chat.

i fear some people have no common sense and will never learn :<

You can ignite the exhaust on 2 strokes, did it with a lighter with severall strokers when idling with full choke and all obliged with a nice bluey yellow flame! My KH100 is the best for it out of what we tried, can get a foot flame out the back, and stays lit for about 10 seconds when idling (goes out as soon as you rev it though, guess gas flow is too fast to sustain it from the origenal burn) although if you had a "flamer kit" (basically a spark plug in the exhaust) I guess it should work at any rpm with even bigger flames . It would certanly dispense with the tail hugging cages that hassle us from time to time, well it sure made a mess off some sapplings we tried it on . Doesn't seem to work with the 4 strokes we tried though.
Just thought i'd mention that, im off to go and burn some more wildlife,

Unlike the guy at Chiswick roundabout who at the lights merrily continued his conversation round the most dangerous & busiest roundabout in all of Christendom!

You probably do not notice the majority who are on the phone because they do nothing to attract any attention to themselves.

Until they decide to pull into the lane you are in and you have to swerve to avoid them like this evening at Hanger Lane!

I hear what you are saying but the fact is, maybe in London in particular, people are not attentive when they are using their mobiles! The legislation is not being enforced, car drivers are endangering lives while using phones and we as bikers are more than likely to bear the brunt as we travel 'differently' on the road to cars.

Hi

I know what you mean, but although plenty cannot drive with a phone in there ear (having seen someone on the M6 doing about 35 straddling the 1st and 2nd lanes), but plenty can and there were already laws in place that could have been used.

Likely the only ones who will be done under the new laws are those that are an easy nick, such as people parked but with the engine still running.

All the best

It sounds to me like you are both arguing the same points really.

IMO the whole thing is that even with the existing laws none of the people who are riding or driving dangerously are being picked up any more.

We need to get the police back out on the roads policing the idiots not raising coffers for the Chief Inspectors champagne dinner & dance.

Anyway can I put you both down for "Browning Force" (hmm sounds kind of pervy, perhaps I need to come up with another name)?

Kickstart! your bike looks really sad (as in unhappy)! awww.

Get some loud sirens for your bike, thats bound to get them of their phones . Almost every time i get cut up by a car or have a near miss it's usually by people on their mobiles, i don't see how you can concentrate and be on the phone at the same time. The police should crack down on it alot more as it causes loads of accidents. It's down right stupid, the government should spend more money on tackling this problem instead of putting up more speed cameras which we have enough of. What also makes me laugh about speed camera's that round my area they are only on main roads and A-roads when i think they should be outside schools.

The two closest speed cameras to my house are, in my opinion, very well placed
One is after a small road "narrowing" (forcing cages to slow down) on the way into my village which has a 30mph speed limit, and lots of kids/a local school etc, basically the village is split in two by the main road, so it is kids/old people/everyone going over the road, a whole lot, so the road narrowing/speed camera is, I think, well placed.
T
he other is before a set of lights, and a swing bridge, that leads onto a deceptively narrow corner, it is a two lane road, but you won't get two lorries going round at the same time, likewise, two fast cars, so it slows people down for A: The Traffic lights which are for pedestrians on a riverside walking/cycling route, B: The actual swing bridge, as it is, suprisingly slippery sometimes. C:The sharp, narrowing corner which if followed by housing either side of the road, and leads up to a roundabout which will take you into A: the town center B: a village C: The motorway and beyond.
So anyway, to sum it up, my local gatso's, are well placed I think, and the only policeman I have ever seen hiding and clocking people, was in a village with a 20 limit, and to that, I say fair play, where I am from, they seem to be more about the real danger zones and safety.

Too many speed cameras around where I live seem to be half-way down large hills, with 30 limits where there's only the edge of a council estate down one side, and open fields on the other.

It's far too easy to creep past that going down them. There's a couple by schools that I know of, I've spotted at load more which are doing little to protect road users at all. There's at least two accident blackspots by me which would benefit from a speed camera, one of them usually has a fatality every other year or so.

People on mobiles do my head in. The amount of times that me and the other half have almost been hit by car drivers on their phones.
There was the time stu got hit on a roundabout by a driver on his phone, than the time in town when this guy done a wrong turning. I mean whats the point of putting other peoples live in danger?

Its a shame gsm phone jammer's are illiegal otherwise i'd be tempted to invest in one under my seat, mind you not sure it'd be too safe either as they'll probably end up looking at there phone signal and wondering why it's disapeared

Oh well!!
