I drive to work including London, and it seems that as many people are on hand-held mobiles whilst driving as before it became illegal.

I live for driving and I agree. If my handsfree kit isn't set up I will pull over before I will answer a phone call.

I drive for a living and would not be without my hands-free kit if for whatever reason i never had it i would simply not answer the phone (your phone will log the call and if it's that important they will call back) there is no need to answer while driving let alone chat. this really makes me cross as people are not paying attention,crossing lanes and generally being a pain in the **** Nicky.x

I got a new mobile a few weeks back and it has an ear piece, great, plug into phone --into ear and bingo. Thought I wouldn't be able to hear the caller or they wouldn't be able to hear me but it is great. Just like talking to someone next to you, not at all like being on the mobile. No excuse everyone should have one. Gloria x

The answer's so simple - say to the caller, 'hang on while I pull over', then chat. If any of you reading this think I want certifying for this suggestion - think how you'd feel if you killed someone whilst your concentration was diverted. Lily

It's not me, but I saw a guy yesterday driving down the road with his mobile stuck to his ear. So he must be one of the four. Wonder who the others are.

I also do not ever use my mobile whilst driving, but it seems everyone else around here do! I was on the understanding it was now a NO-NO! But I always see people doing it! Maz x
