Blimey you have good eyesight, first looks like he is scratching his head, the second, couldnt make out a thing.

So his comment wasn't sensible?

Is that what you think?

Jeez. Talking on a phone is bad enough, but texting?! I'd whip their licences away in a shot.

If you could show me the phones they were doing this on, i would agree.

The first One is as clear as day when you full screen the video, was even more do in real life too

The second is much more clear on the original video file and again in real life

But hey ho

The reg plate isn't clear either - so what's your point ? I'm not asking for a conviction

My point is this doesnt show or prove anything. So what was YOUR point of showing it and claiming something that isnt evident ?

Sorry LD

Mobile phone usage doesn't show up on camera very well, especially if the vehicle is moving - I guess the glass reflections cause problems even if we can see it perfectly.

Was nearly hit today by a car drifting into the cycle lane - the driver was texting and steering with his knees. Later on the driver in front of me at the lights was busy talking into his handheld and set off at the light change by steering inbetween gear changes with one hand. This was in the space of a cycle trip of 2 miles to the shops. Handheld Mobile use is utterly endemic these days. With bluetooth sets costing less than £20 there is absolutely no excuse.

I agree with take their licence away, BUT we have to be able to see the phone clearly. In that vid if anyone can enlarge the image to show a phone I would be very surprised.

Comcentrate on what you are doing not on what others might be doing.So you think that one driver was on the phone and one was textung - how did that affect you?
