The fella was a tad thick for using his phone when he already had points on his license.

Was it right that he lost his job through just using a phone, no in my opinion.

But he has only himself to blame, no-one else.

How many time do you think a driver has to be caught using his mobile before losing his license?

Why don't you tell us how many times, you've gotten away with it, and we'll take it from there? :?

I have already stated that I use hands free.

And you and I both know, there have been any number of occasions when you have not used your hands free.

So how many times, have you gotten away with it, and we'll take it from there?

You really are a to55er. The hands free bluetooth that I use is in my sat nav. It is permanently in the car and connects automatically when I get in the car an d turn the engine on. It is constantly charged by the car. So why would I not be using it? Many of our cars have bluetooth radios that connect to the drivers phone when the ignition is on. It is not rocket science.

You are being evasive, which is normally a sign of guilt and you and I both know. You've not always had the blue tooth routed through your sat nav, so it's about time you came clean. Now just admit that you have, on a number of occasions, answered your phone without using the hands free? #-o

We've all done it Grandad, even you. #-o

Evasive!!! I have told you how I use my bluetooth, now if you don't want to believe it then that is up to you.

I know what you've told me Grandad, and I am sure you use your bluetooth more often than not.

However, you've not always had the blue tooth routed through your sat nav, so just admit it, and come clean.

On a number of occasions, you've answered your phone without using the hands free?

Okay, so grandad won't admit to breaking the law by using his mobile phone without his hands free but we all know he is every bit as guilty, as the guy who lost his licence, he's just not been caught ... yet. :shock: [-X

Oh and Grandad, remember to keep using that bluetooth routed through your Sat Nav, you never know when the wrong person might be watching. :-" :-" :-"

I never use my phone in my hands when driving, and I'm far from perfect.

The inbuilt bluetooth via my music radio is the easiest thing I could ever use.

However in the long distance past maybe I did use my hands, but really and truthfully there is no reason to do it that way now.

Yeah but an inbuilt bluetooth is a relatively new thing in taxis/ph, especially hacks. And I agree, there is little reason to do it now but on occasion, I still use the phone when my Bluetooth packs in, especially on country roads.

So you see Sussex, unlike grandad, I'm not perfect I've just never been caught. :-|
