Two hands on the wheel, please
I see the government’s thinking about banning the use of mobile phones while driving. Good stuff, says I — the one time I’ve done it myself (bad man), I was acutely aware of how compromised my control of the car was. If I’d needed to respond suddenly to a hazard in the road, I would’ve been stuffed. And the hazard would’ve been an ex-hazard.
Not surprisingly, the AA has given its usual knee-jerk reaction to the plans:
Bert Morris, the AA’s public policy manager said: “We cannot have a law banning the use of mobiles without one to ban eating, smoking, drinking, applying make-up or shaving for that matter.”
Well, Bert, you’re quite right. You might’ve thought you were pointing out how ridiculous a proposal it is, but I think you’ve got some bloody good ideas there. Nice one... you muppet. :)
