I still maintain satnavs are far more dangerous than phones. Both are dangerous to use when you should be concentrating on the road, but satnavs not only distract your concentration from the traffic like a phone, but they also make you unfocus your vision from the road, as well as creating a blind spot!
I will put my hands up and admit to using a phone in the past, not since they made it illegal, but I was perfectly capable of talking and driving at the same time, after all I have been talking all my life, doing it while driving is perfectly natural so why is it different if you are holding a small plastic box in your hand? What makes that any more dangerous than holding a cigarrette in your hand while talking? Or picking your nose?
Yes, I do believe that using phones while driving causes accidents. But only by people that shouldnt be driving in the first place. Ifyou cannot concentrate on the road while talking then you should not be driving in the first place. If they banned phones and eating while driving then why the hell havent they banned smoking while driving, or opperating a satnav??? Total double standards.
