Sorry, would never have caught me in a Donkey jacket.

You're on rare form Fordy...

i walk some 7 minutes along a road each morning.
a good 10 drivers are on their phone on average.

There should be a setting on your phone to tell callers that you are driving. So it just takes an answer phone messege, or says you will call back when it is safe.


there is no way they could enforce the ban.

just vast majority of people who obey the law, just because they are good citizens will stop.

I don't remember what it is called but blackberry has an app for that. It will tell people on your voicemail that you're in the car and will auto respond to texts and emails letting them know you are driving.

Apple probably has something like that.

What if you smoke sheesha in your car?

the next generation of hooligan will be hard as f**k anyway they will all have red hot hair straighteners to attack each other with.

and bottles of fabreze holstered to their belts in case anything gets too out of hand

my issue with smoking in the car is that surely smoking in the car is as dangerous as using a mobile phone in the car - you can only drive with one hand on the wheel and presumably fags and petrol aren't a good mix in a car accident?

If people want to kill themselves by smoking then thats up to them so long as they are not near me! but it seems ridiculous to ban something like mobiles that can cause dangerous driving but not cigarettes which surely are just as dangerous as phones are whilst driving? Isnt it putting other road users at risk?

Couldnt see how it could be policed easily though!

How many times in recent history have you heard of a car being set alight by cigarettes?

It's not really that. People blow out the smoke in front of them with the window open, then the wind blows the smoke back into their eyes, they are blinded and next thing you know the car is triple somersaulting down the road It is dangerous stuff
