    you're right sweeney re the discretion, however they have discretion with EVERY traffic offence, however you rarely see it being used. :disapprove::disapprove: They have to pay for their overtime somehow.........:approve:

    I saw a police man pull over a woman (who was quite atrractive, it has to be said) in a new CLK last night for using her mobile.

    Thing is, why didnt she just order bluetooth when she got the car???

    Because...
    Most people who are 'quite attractive' who buy cars like that don't buy them for the amazing range of accessories or gadgets if you follow.

    Like that stupid bloody woman on 'It's the Dog or me' the other night who bought one of those little chinese hairless dogs because she wanted a fashion accessory to put in her handbag so she could be just like Paris Hilton. Yes.. the dog was psychotic, because she didn't think she had to train it, and because it was so sociopathic, she was talking about having it put down like she was talking about throwing away an old handbag because it was inconvenient.
    These people should be made to drive little safe cars (safe for everyone else on the road that is)... like Neon Orange Metros or something...

    :mad:


    me? spell not right? that's unpossible..

    Yeah, usually do these days although they are all the cable ones that make it look like your listening to an MP3 player...

    I got a free bluetooth headset with my last phone, it came with car charger and mains charger. It works fine, don't use it though. If anyone is after one give me a shout.

    Very true, but doesn't mean they didn't get arsy with you. A guy stopped me while I was in traffic at Waverley station and all I'd done was pick it up and say "Dave, I'll call you back" and hung up! I wasn't even moving. Think he was bitter that I had a mini as it was just not long out. Young guy, think the power had gone to his head. Either that or he was just being a git.
