In the event of causing an accident whilst cycling/phoning , the plea of "but its not illegal officer " may not help then.

Wishing to annoy someone driving a ton or so of metal is not my idea of funIn the OP the "problem" was he was cycling slowly, not "causing and accident"...the real problem was the interpretation that he was "causing" the drivers to get annoyed - poor them.

I'm not certain, but maybe some people could find it annoying that they are forced to travel unnecessarily slowly by someone who is being selfish as well as being dangerous by tarting around with their phone in the middle of the road.Why should they be annoyed tho?

I was driving back home yesterday from picking up the eldest from Saturday job and saw a guy on a nice road bike, all the gear on ,he was riding one handed, on the drops,slowly, and dialing on his mobile phone ,behind him he had a queue of about 20 cars, that sort of behaviour just pees people off, why not just stop and make the call ?.
Here we get to the crux - the ever present threat of violence because a poor motorist was held up for a second by someone else. Listen to yourselves!
What road was this?
I v rarely use my phone when on the bike, but I regularly slow to drink from my water bottle, eat energy bars, bananas etc whilst on the move - all of which are distractions.
