I'm new to this, so apologies for starting a new thread, but I couldn't find anything similar when I searched...
Anyway, I've noticed a new phenomenon just lately that seems to be getting more common. The message about not using your mobile whilst driving seems to be getting through to some drivers at least. Unfortunately, the solution seems to be to pull up immediately. It doesn't matter if you're on double yellows, zigzags, in the cycle lane, on an urban clearway or even just a road busy with rush hour traffic. You can even mount the pavement and scatter a few pedestrians if you want. So long as you stop, you'll be alright.
It might be pedantic, but I thought that while ever the engine is running, you're still officially driving. And there's the small matter of consideration for other road users.
Has anyone else got any thoughts on this one?
