Yes I know its bollox but..........................The drink drive offence for having keys in your pocket etc is “drunk in charge of a motor vehicle” - using a mobile phone when parked isn’t the same as when driving.

Eddie Honda Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 using a mobile phone when parked isn’t the same as when driving.I'm not sure that it isn't. I'd have to look it up, but memory tells me that the using a moby offence occurs when the engine is running (moving or not makes no difference).

I think parked is defined in the Highway Code as engine off & handbrake on. Interesting one for all those auto drivers who never use the handbrake these days.

Kiltox Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I suppose it’s not technically legal to “park” with the engine running (you can be fined for idling unnecessarily in certain areas right?) You’d need to be stopped somewhere stupid or fail the attitude test for a copper to give a shit though treehugger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 How many hours have you spent?Premium Search...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43t0mycG-eILol, no, the advert I was looking for was for some bank in the late 90s: Lol, been looking up some old late 90s adverts for a pretty cool advert I last saw around 97/98 related to banking which involved; ...some chap running and getting cornered by some "gangsters" then for some unknown reason they start playing rounders/baseball (it was a UK based advert) and some car windows got smashed. I remember there being a BMW 635i and a P38 Range Rover in the advert, still not found it mind...I just happened to come across the Ginger XR2 bloke and the advert that went with him.

Aston Martin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 My buddy just told me this story. She had a Rover bubble 200 in BRG with a fake wood dash. I asked if the head gasket failed? Of course it had, anyway she sold it to a friend and after a few months he was coming back from Scarborough and it kept conking out. So he set fire to it, the police saw him doing this so he legged it. She believes they could only do him with littering.

3VOM Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 There's an advert just been on telly, you can now pay for BP fuel using an app on your phone to save that 60ft walk to the till and back. Have they now decided that using your phone on a petrol station forecourt will NOT result in an explosion, the size of which would knock the earth off its axis? I once got yelled at by someone washing the petrol pumps on a little village filling station. I was walking past on the pavement, on the phone. "Gerrover there! Cross over! PETROL!" the mad bint yelled.The interesting effect of this if widely adopted will be how it affects petrol price margins when no one bothers buying overpriced goods in the shop. And what all the franchisee owners of petrol stations will do. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I never understand anybody giving lip to a copper who pulls you up. Suicide. A large amount of interactions on the endless stream of Police Stop Interceptor Traffic Cops shows start with the pulled guy immediately being huffy/cocky/aggressive "I pay your wage/got nothing better to do?/aint done nuffink m8" and they all end up in cuffs in the back of a van, with acting like a nob while having a warrant for their arrest being a favourite.Apparently people are even fucking dumber than I thought they were.
