Bluetooth installs for well under that price.
Although the wired ones are not so effective, they do the job . . .

Imagine if there was a similar hate-mob for people who overran the speed limit occasionally? I don't yap on the phone all the time, it's just occasionally, and I get a sense of anger when I see these yuppies in their SLK's driving with their Elbow with the phone to their ear and head twisted to one side.. it's like they're trying to actually LOOK COOL by being on the phone... and that's hardly a good way to be driving a car. I appreciate where you're coming from, and I'd only deliberately annoy somebody if I was in a grumpy mood (less and less these days, thankfully), too. But unfortunately, doing it infrequently but getting caught when you do it, it just as bad ("your honour") if you do it all the time and you're not caught. yep... you're right. I might see if I can get the T68 back off my mate and see if it's stopped cutting out during calls, then I can get a funky wireless handsfree. |
excellent, plus it's kinda strange having the telephone in somebody else's
Ka on charge, and you get a call on it when you're in the Ka behind (konvoy
of four Kas during JOGLE . . .).

Then I would've caught up to you, got a little in front of you, spotted an animal in the road and hoped to got (yeah right) that you'd've left enough room to avoid hitting me when I did the emergency stop, else I'd be in hospital with my whiplash and having a fresh bumper fitted to my car... If you tried that with me you'd be dead. You'd not have a car left to |
breathing anyway.

But back to the topic though, I appreciate that talking on mobiles isn't good practice whilst driving, but there is such as thing as common sense... I mean.. if I do happen to be on the phone, i'll be like.. 'hang on a minute.. need to pull out / figure out where I'm going' and drop the phone for a min. |
under a tenner.

Maybe. We had a HGV demonstrate what it's braking abilities were like on
the motorway during JOGLE, it stopped pretty well, too.
And, no, we hadn't pulled in front of it because he'd annoyed us!

reverse 3 or 4 times to get out of his little 'stronghold'.

illegalised along with handheld mobiles? Can't be fumbling for that PTT
button y'know. Better get himself some kind of voice actuated headset...

Well, I'd have done the same to you, too. And driven off if you got out of your vehicle. |
