Basic idea here is don't touch your phone while your engine is on, and you are in the driver's seat.Originally posted by ndsef:Check out this website for the answer... shocking but true....

Maybe some of you might hear or read about inccidents of driver being fine and points deduced for just placing their handphone on the dashboard without a working ear piece around. Even though with passengers in front, the driver still got booked. Heard it over FM91.3 too, better watch out. -
base on the website, it was because using hp will distracts drivers and reduces their ability to control their vehicles and to react to changes in road situations.
so what about talking to passengers while driving? won't it distract the driver too? sibei talk cock man...
why not pass a law that strictly no communication of any kind while driving? best... don't even on the radio...

Upon reading the document, I believe the Traffic Police just fall short of banning the use of ear-pieces or headsets for handphones.
However, the great implication for us drivers is that we cannot use a handphone while driving alone. Shocking revelation to say the least. However, I think they should revise the law and allow the use of earpieces or headsets to receive calls.
They should only make it illegal to make calls. I think that would make more sense. -
An offence under Sec 65B of the Road Traffic Act is made out as long as
there is evidence to show that the motorist was holding onto the handphone
with one hand, while using it to communicate. This is regardless of the
position in which he was holding onto the handphone and the fact that a
hands-free kit was also used is irrelevant. Handphone driving is an
inconsiderate and dangerous act that poses a threat to other road-users.
The act distracts drivers and reduces their ability to control their
vehicles and to react to changes in road situations. This puts other road
users at risk. Because of the seriousness of the offence, Traffic Police
will continue to step up our enforcement on handphone driving. We advise
motorists who wish to use their handphones to have their passenger make or
receive the call. If travelling alone, motorists should drive to a carpark
before making the call.
Any communication via handphone earns 12 demerit plus $ 1,000.00 fines.
Mobileleft on the seat earn 6 demerit being that you should at no time be
detracted by any wireless gadget:
