Default Get off the phone!

Anyone else getting fed up seeing people driving erratically only to see that they're on the phone? Just had a guy wander into my lane AGAIN! and scare the c--p out of me!

Read in paper the other day government talking of increasing spot fine to £90 but I'm not convinced that it'll make any difference at all.

Have found this site http://www.g2mtechnologies.com who reckon to have a product called bizprotect that stops a phone being used completely when the vehicle is moving over a certain speed, other that emergency call. It says it needs no hardware and it can tell if you are a driver or passenger. No price, but it's only software - I wonder why there isn't a push to use something like this to stop people phoning and texting, instead of fining them after the event.

Anyone got one? Anyone have an opinion? Be interested to hear.

I enjoy erratically driving and just holding the phone up to my head to **** people off.

I just saw a link while surfing the web on my phone while driving without reading the whole post...

because I'm a boss like that.

and they say texting is illegal while driving, but never said anything about web browsing....bitches!

Cops aren't looking for those.
