I've heard a lot of people saying "I drive better when I've had a drink or two" - they should totally change that law along the same lines as you propose for the speeding one.

Something like "dont drink and drive if you feel that you might fuck up and kill someone" would work.

Seriously - do you NEED a law to tell you not to drive like a twat?

You shouldn't need one, but unfortunately so many people are twats
People who use their mobile phones while driving: complete idiots. Yes I know it still happens despite there being a law against it, but at least awareness of the issue has been raised so people think twice about it. Just like when seatbelt laws were introduced. Nowadays only the most irresponsible, and MOST stupid people don't wear their seatbelts. Hopefully some day in the future it will be the same with people who have one hand holding a mobile to their ear while driving - which I see on an almost daily basis.

Yes but what about wide roads with no traffic or pedestrians?
If I drive at 10 mph there's no reason why I can't use my mobile and drive.

10mph forwards or in reverse?

Are you just trolling? :)
If not, then the reply is: if you drive at 10mph while using your mobile phone, then you're in the fucking way of other people who are actually interested in their fucking JOURNEY and want to get somewhere. So if you're more interested in your phone call then you should pull over to the side of the road and talk to your heart's content, therefore allowing other drivers to actually get to where they want to be.

Of if you're trolling - pretty funny :)

I can't believe YOU are asking if THEY are trolling.
I came to the comclusion that I had been trolled by you. If not, my idiot assessment is bang on.

Wtf??
Trolling is when a person deliberately and knowingly makes a blatantly ridiculous argument, but with enough insult contained within to evoke a reaction. As far as I know. How on Earth can you construe my posts as such?

Shanme, scarpe. I have been reading your own posts on and off for a while now and I thought you were intelligent and sensible. Please do not prove me wrong now. If you disagree with me then I suggest you provide logical reasons why, and I will listen. Calling me names does not do you credit.

I don't believe for a second you have been reading my posts
if you thought I was intelligent and sensible.

INTERNET LIES!

What part of no traffic is giving you trouble?
Incidentally, you're an idiot.
