I have seen FOUR oncoming drivers talking into mobile phones
today, so the current penalties for that offence can't be a
deterrent.

Like **** you have.

Four drivers in 36 miles is not unusual.

********. You are so bored that you are just looking for replies
to your trolling and making things up.
This is a cycling group, not a driving group. I'm a driver, but
if I post anything here it is always to do with cycling, not
driving. Post something on cycling, not driving. You are
getting as bad as Bod.

Those four did not include many more who were staring down at
their laps thus not looking where they were going, so I suspect
there were more than four in reality. You also post about
walking your dog on here with your chisel for
protection, so maybe your should post in a walking group instead
of here?

And a personal assault group.

Carrying knives/screwdrivers and chisels etc is exactly what gang
members do.

Yip.

The point is that ALL gang members carry knives, most cyclists do
not and neither do most pedestrians.
see the difference?


Which sharply pointed objects can you legally carry? | James ...
11 Feb 2010 - Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 makes it an
offence to have "any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed"
in a public place. The only type of knife that is excluded from this
definition is a "folding pocketknife", a penknife in normal parlance,
with a blade of three inches or less.

Ffs get a life.


I have a very good life thankyou. I have two good sons, two lovely
grandaughters. Excellent friendly neighbours and surrounded by peaceful
countryside.
You live on a road that cars and vans park half on the pavement, you
have noisy schoolkids going to and from a school a few hundred yards
away twice a day on your side of the road.
I'm very content, you seem anxious/stressed/carry grudges etc.

Wot?

My wife usually sees drivers on their phones before me as I am
looking where I am going.

More bull****.

Yet Another well-reasoned post from the 'rational thought' claimant.

You're a Joke!

When I was 14 in 1972, I used to carry a scout's sheath knife on my belt in public.

Same here, but times have changed. No scout went around threatening
other folk and the knives were certainly not carried for protection either.

It would be round here. My commute is only just over five miles, I
see more than four people using a hand-held phone each way.

Millions of Brits still using hand-held mobile phones at the wheel –
and risk being hit with £1,000 fine

Figures from the RAC's Report on Motoring has found that 23 per cent of
Brits admit to making or receiving calls on a mobile phone when driving.

That equates to around 10 million drivers across the country who
regularly break the law by speaking on their phone.

Yup, he just guesses and doesn't bother to check facts.
