    I got my car rear ended a few years ago by a pillock in a punto who was putting his phone back in its holder. I got ?100 damage, & a ?900 payout. The punto was taken away in a bin bag.
    I have seen loads of people driving like 4rseholes & trying to text. it is physically impossible to concentrate on the road (even when stationary) and also concentrate on a screen the size of a postage stamp that is on your lap.

    the best one would be if it was pay as you go road tax and the passengers had to pay as well at the toll gate just for being in the car.. i wouldnt mind the people would stop asking me for lifts they think its ok they give you petrol money, but when its your car. (where and tare, towing etc)..

    the government need to see that its not just tax and insurance we pay there is allso tax on every single thing we need all year round just to run our cars
    in the first place

    its pathetic, they also can fine you for eating, but smoking well you can do that, even though you have to get them out the packet or even roll one, light it, keep flicking it out of window,then you drop it and it rolls between your legs and suddenly 100% of your concentration goes off the road and onto getting that fag out before it puts a nice hole in your mint 90spec seat and burns your balls! i do think we should smoke in cars though but im just putting a comparrison accross, i could imagine it went from handsfree, to no phones to no talking to passengers,no passengers allowed in car, NO DRIVING!

    Smoking will probably be banned completely soon, give it about 20 years
