A new report from the UK transport committee, a cross party group of UK MPs, has recommended banning the use of hands free mobile devices whilst driving. They say that their use is just as distracting to drivers as using a mobile without one is. So what's next? Using, looking at, or touching any number of the various electronic gizmos and devices, that often come fitted as standard, like the stereo/entertainment systems, sat-navs, etc, any interactive systems with touch screens built into the centre consoles? Talking to passengers? Passengers talking? Children? Having any passengers at all? Drivers themselves? |

After reading that back, I thought the 'cross party' would be good name for a new political party, but then realised the name would of course be just as apt for any of the current political mobs.

These 'infotainment' systems are a joke, and that needs sorting fast. 1999 - twist knob to turn heater on. 2019 - go through three pages on a touch-screen to turn heater on... Oh but it's okay, auto braking so people don't bother paying attention anymore anyway... Wtaf is going on with motor vehicles? |

@ slwnoris - 13.08.19 - 09:27am Cars should go back to only having a wireless. I'll give you my 8-track cassette player when you pry it from my cold dead hands. |

I dont see the difference between talking to someone hands free and listening to the radio

The guy who designed the original mini made no provision for a radio, as he didn't agree with having them in cars.

@ dan27notts - 13.08.19 - 10:03am I dont see the difference between talking to someone hands free and listening to the radio Hands free you are interacting on calls,radio you are just listening. No interaction needed unless you are taking part in a phone in debate or a quiz! |

@ ogdenz - 13.08.19 - 12:02pm Hands free you are interacting on calls,radio you are just listening. No interaction needed unless you are taking part in a phone in debate or a quiz! What about if your listening to LBC and shout back at the radio? Thats the same as talking hands free |

If you listen to LBC then your should be given 6 points on your licence and have to do 200 hours community work.

I thought you'd be a regular listener to Farage's show

I have watched and listened to James O Brian on YouTube a few times. Where he demolishes Brexiteers arguments. He does it regularly too it seems.
