Re: Telephone calls whilst riding - Jacko - 29-03-13
I don't believe it's even possible to give 100% concentration to anything for long.
I don't use a phone or have tunes on the bike as I can't be arsed. I do however sing,
loudly and badly, I also solve many work issues while tootling along and mail them when I get home.
I look at the scenery, sky, weather, nice cars, price of petrol and countless other shite.

I agree. As reddit once said (it didn't really, but it should have) a post is definitely improved by the inclusion of tits. More mammaries than the bird or person variety though.

if you want to answer your phone when riding then do so, if you dont well dont, simples
Well said. As long as it's hands free it's all good.

No it's not!
There is plenty of research proving that the use of a hands free phone has a significant detrimental effect on driving standards, eg. this one by the American Psychological Association concludes that holding a conversation using a hands free mobile phone increases the chances of having an accident fourfold:

I'm old enough to recall the dyed in the wool drink-drivers saying exactly the same sort of thing when they brought in the drink drive limit....
Re: Telephone calls whilst riding - taylor - 29-03-13
you should also be old enough to recall the miners strike, which they told them to call off, they didnt because it was there own personal choice to stand up for what they belived in. also the poll tax riots they stood up for what THEY wanted, imagine where we would be if admiral nelsons wife had told him to stay in bed and he did.

When they make it against the law I'll stop. Until then your opinion is just that, not law. Telling people they're wrong is putting your little Hitler hat on.
You'll also just get people's backs up if you tell them what to do.

This topic has run its course.
The final sentence for every good argument should be "let's agree to disagree and drop it"
