They do travel in pairs most times accymel but I often see a cop on his or her own.

Driving whilst nattering on a mobile isn’t particularly safe but neither is chatting with the passenger. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for drivers concentrating on their driving and that means not using a mobile phone or nattering to the passenger. In fact a bit of nattering can be even more dangerous because for some reason women have to face the person that they are talking to and when listening to the response.

But it could also be argued that fiddling with the radio isn’t exactly safe either. The anti-smoking brigade will no doubt chip in here and argue about smoking whilst driving and they would have a point. I drive an automatic and I could argue that changing gear interferes with driving. But then so does reading road signs.

Just heard on the wireless a guy claimed that he had been stopped 7 times and 6 times he got off when taken to court.

How? As he explained that Radio hams are licensed to use their equipment anywhere and that includes in cars and on the move. He was a radio ham so he got off.

Now don’t all rush to get your ham’s license!
