hello people i think that this law is ridiculious, some people need to make phone calls whilst driving to see if their child is fine or to call for some business reason, im tired of all these new laws coming in its so annoying.

Hi umm i think that this law is good but also what about the cops, they are allowed to answer or make calls whilst driving! that is very hypocritical and unfair to us normal people.

the results alter depending on the nature of the person(e.g. a woman = apocalypse)

As a car driver, cyclist and motorcyclist I welcome any moves to stop people from being distracted by their phone whilst driving, because it is extremely dangerous. However, I think that the law is very unclear: I went to 4 mobile phone shops to ask "Do I need a cradle?" and "Must it be wireless or can I use a cord type handsfree kit?".
I got a different answer in every shop, which is why I searched the web and found this site.
Personally I think the basic problem is not that the penalty isn't stiff enough, it's more the case that the Government relies on cameras instead of cops, so there simply aren't enough police on the road to enforce good driving. People think they won't get caught anyway, so the punishment is irrelevant.

The law makes good sense and should be welcomed by everyone. I've seen accidents caused by people using mobile phones at the wheel, people who don't accept any responsibility for their action!
My mobile is located in a properly installed 'handsfree' car kit but I still set the phone to take messages, informing the caller that I will return the call when I have safely stopped the car. I've had no complaints, only genuine acceptance. The law should be changed to prevent the driver using the mobile phone unless parked-up, or in significant emergencies!

what about the police who have phones/radios attached to there jackets surely they are distracted to surely they should practice what they are preaching!!!!!

My husabnd uses his phone in a cradle, but you still have to look at it and touch it to dial numbers which is distracting, but under the new law this is not illegal. The law needs to be more clear cut. Total ban on touching your mobile while driving, but how would they enforce it! Then you get into the issue of radios, incar sat-nav, smoking, screaming children ... the list goes on!!!

when does this brill law start

what i am still annoyed at is that thousands of people are still driving around now ever since this law came in that people must use a hands free a couple of years ago yet the police do absolutly nothing about it to deter the drivers.
there is many times i have seen people driving around using their phhone and not in control.
i can wait for this law to come in and no one takes any notice of it
leah kempster
i think this is an absolutly wonderful idea as it will stop accidents and people getting killed very brutelly and then there familys will not have an exscuse to kill the driver for killing there little baby . fabitty fab idea tony blair!!
june estel
i think that every one should have a wireless head set for their car
adam

It seems to be practical way of cutting down on road deaths.

The cell phone bore pays no attention to traffic conditions, drives with phone in hand and may put surrounding cars and drivers at risk. Too focussed on phoning, the cell phone bore often misses what is happening on the road nearby and makes driving moves and decisions at an impaired level. Busy chatting, the cell phone bore may run a stop sign and broadside a car. Some people seem incapable of speaking on their cell phone in a normal tone of voice. Perhaps they are subconsciously worried that the party on the other end cannot hear them very well, so they double and triple their volume. Sometimes it seems as if they are shouting. Many personal and business conversations contain information that should remain confidential or private. Before using a mobile phone in a public location to discuss private business or issues, the cell savvy user makes sure that there will be enough distance to keep the content private. Some stories, some issues and some conflicts should be saved for times and locations that will allow for confidentiality.

it's all good and all fine that such a law exists but it is ironically rooted in biasedness.
