Telephone calls whilst riding

[Streetbudgie]

I'm glad I live in a democracy where the opinion of the one is not judged as law.


I recently bought a bluetooth head set for many reasons, not least of which are the following:


1.) Listening to music.  Yup, I said the swearword.  I have no intention of doing it, but I like to have the option.  If I'm going to do 100 miles up a motorway I want the option of listening to music if I want.  I wear 39SNR ear plugs, I can't hear the engine, but I can hear music and a car horn if I need to.


2.) Listening to Satnav.  Self explainatory


3.) Talking to a Pillion Passenger or someone I'm on a ride out with.


4.) If my missus calls I'd rather answer the phone and have a 2 minute conversation than have her thinking I'm dead in a ditch somewhere.


I think each reason is valid, but that's just my opinion and thankfully not dependant on you or anyone else :-)

Why would someone voluntarily remove one of their senses when riding a motorcycle?

Utter madness and displays a lack of care for any other person who might be on the road in the same vicinity.

There are many reasons why we have laws which are set by your democratically elected peers, one reason is because no matter how stupid something may be, somewhere there's an idiot who will try it and kill not only themselves, but other innocent people.

I'm pretty sure your missus would rather wait 10 minutes for you to pull over and answer a missed call than be responsible for you wiping out a family of 4 on their way to the seaside for a day because you weren't concentrating fully.
