1. TBH I used to occasionally use a mobile while driving (before it was outlawed) and I never felt it was a particularly dangerous thing to do, I would choose a quiet section of road, slow down a bit, speed dial the wife tell her what time I would be home and that would be it, no conversation; I don't believe that posed any danger whatsoever, no more taxing that changing radio stations.
2.The problem in the UK is the total obsession that so many people have with these dam phones, people were, (and still are) making entire journeys while on the phone, busy town centre busy motorway junctions, the phone is never put down, and that is why there was a need for a ban. May be the Sweedish have a different approach to mobile phones, may be they have a little more to their lives other than the need to yak non stop on a phone.[/quote]
1. A sensible approach, however you are/were in the minority.
2. Perhaps you are right and perhaps the Swedes on the whole go with your approach in 1.
I recall reading some stuff about the swedes and their driving standards -think nothing of driving on ice covered roads and understand the dynamics to be able to control a car. Perhaps the Swedes are the Master Race.
