So many innuendos.
Why two?It's on a magnet next to my steering wheel, can reach it without my hand leaving the steering wheel, which I can't do if I want to use my horn coz that involves two hands and a lot of anger
The implication is that it should be permitted, just because you can manage it...And no it's not one rule for me, read my comment
Well, the wording is:I don't believe the original statement to be in anyway correct and you are allowed to 'touch' your phone if it's in a cradle etc..
Most of those can be done without looking away from the road, which is why I still favour physical controls over touchscreen stuff.otherwise I would expect anyone without steering/voice controls would never be able to alter their cars temperature, volume, gears, windows etc.. without breaking the same 'law'
You can feel it in your liver??!!The Porsche I'm currently driving has pretty much touchscreen everything, very nice hepatic feedback screen etc..
Yes, but the law has to cover everyone equally, which is why it's aimed at the lowest common denominator.I expect it's just people who like to text, update facebook or order a dominoes via their phone whilst driving that the police would care about. For me I just either tap home twice or if my music/road noise isn't too loud just say 'ok google'
You can feel it in your liver??!!
Wow, Porsche have really stepped up their game!!![]()

Exactly!Oh, so a bit of speed is the same as robbing a person's house, got it!
And yet in the face of such inaccuracies, we're on the verge of voice/Google controlled cars, with god-awful interiors that look like an Apple iStore.... Is no-one else worried about this?haha![]()
, proof positive that voice recognition isn't always perfect, or maybe my pronunciation was sub par

to those who flash and expect to be flashed, would any of you be a spotter for a burglar? no? why not? is it not technically the same?
TBH, I think most people would initially take it as a signal that their high beams are still on.... if not, then that they're doing something wrong, maybe driving over the line... or perhaps it was a mate saying hello.... So many possibilities that, by the time they'd worked out what it was about, they'd be through the camera anyway.if you dont flash another driver then as far as i'm concerned, you're a miserable selfish *******

Hence not bothering.
It's really not. At all. Why would it be?
police dont earn anything from speeders afaik.
They're not a non-profit organisation you know. Everything is done for money these days. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest police officers are saints who go around catching speeders in exchange for absolutely nothing. It's a job, it's done for moneymaking purposes.
Police earn their wages same as anyone else. Of course catching speeders, which is one of their roles, adds to their "job worth".
Where is any evidence to suggest a police officer benefits from the number of speeders he/she may catch ?
Sorry that just seems a complete load of utter nonsense.. police paid for by us tax payers.. their not on commission !!

If you really think a police officer leaves the house in the morning and is worried about the amount of money he/she can generate to fund their role, we'll have to agree to disagree.. I'm fairly confident if the requirement to enforce speed limits was to magically disappear, those officers could be reassigned to more meaningful tasks, I don't think anyone would lose their job..they have more than enough work to do..
