Hi
Personally I think the law was fine as it was before, if they had bothered to enforce it. The example you mention of people weaving in slow moving traffic could have resulted in a prosecution.
I suspect all that will happen is people who are safe but obvious will get done (for example someone pulling over to answer the phone without turning off the engine).
It is just another absolute law that can be cheaply enforced against people who are not doing anything dangerous. Prosecting 1000 people just to cheaply get one who was dangerous is a bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
All the best

True
I wouldn't personally do that anyway, I was only joking..
I tried to kick a wanker in an Alfa Romeo once as I turned right into a road and the twat was driving up the wrong side... I slid (sideways!!) across that lane out of his way, my right hand slipped and jammed throttle open for a split second, but somehow I had my hand on the clutch and just about stayed upright
Beeped at the twat who gave me a "it was your fault" look... TWAT
Well as I rode off I went to kick the rear wing of his nice Alfa and as I swung my leg out he drove off so I missed and swerved across half the road again ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

With all respect mate, theres "mistakes" and theres driving down a road on the wrong side in rush hour traffic which joins a main road with people turning right onto said road not being able to see whats coming down it, due to the cars waiting to turn left onto the main road (if that makes sense)
The fact that I didn't hit him was due to me actually seeing him in time to move out the way. If it wasn't me, but a car going around that corner at that time, or maybe just another bike etc, then they'd have definetly hit the car.
I went to kick him because he was a twat and he had to know that.
He gave me a look to say it was my fault when it clearly wasn't.
He was on the wrong side of the road, driving forward without due care, no way he could have turned left or right as there was traffic in the other lane and buildings to his right. If someone had been coming around the corner faster, they'd have crashed.
Never a copper about when you need one! (unless your speeding!) ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

How will these phone cams work, ie how will they be able to detect that someone is on their phone?
I find it interesting that you can get a £30 fine for doing something that endangers other road users and yourself but if you park illegally you get a £50 fine. ![Exclamation](images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif) |
