what gets me about all this is the big fuss made over mobile phone users (and rightly so), but you don't hear anything about women putting their make up on or guys reading news papers spread out across the steering wheel.

I take the bus from Victoria station up to Baker Street each morning and never a day goes past when I don't see one or both these things being done by drivers in London

Quite true,but honestly how many women putting make-up on and guys reading newspapers do you find compared with people useing their phones...And besides most of the accidents involving phone users is far higher. [addsig]

It was proven in a scientific study (sorry, I don't have the site from which it came) that NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION WHILE ON THE PHONE, that you are actually as impaired as if you were driving drunk. Headset or not.

Just depends on you concentration span really! Any good wired hands free is perfect if it can be used automatically when the call comes in!

My thought only!
