Personally if you are caught holding the phone it should:

A mandatory 12 points

Mandatory £2,000 fine

Mandatory made to take all 3 tests.

My phone has a great Car Mode.

All Texts and Calls are voice activated (I should add I only do this if really needed, and then when driving straight and not performing turns etc.).

My SatNav in the phone (and TomTom) are again voice controlled.

I can even tell it what music to play.

But I found a new feature, I had to pick my mum up from the Hospital and called her at the hospital and we saw each other and she hung up.

But I got a voice messaged telling me that a Video call had been rejected, my mum also got a auto text message telling her I was driving and can't take a video call.

She died on September 30th, wearing a mask and she still might be alive today. Last edited by Hom3r; 01-03-2017 at 19:06.
