Use of Mobile Phones while driving
-
I know this topic is probably posted before, but I just want to say something...
WHY IS THAT WE CAN GET CHARGED FOR HOLDING THE MOBILE PHONE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN: -
1) it is ok to hold a big mac while driving?
2) it is ok to hold your gf hand?
3) it is ok to fiddle with ur I.C.E. settings?
4) it is ok to bend forward to slot in cash card?
5) it is ok to smoke and hold the cig in one hand?
Isn't it just as dangerous???? -
well, most pple get distracted by phone calls or sms-es coming in...tends to take their eyes off the road...whereas, holding hand, eating, smoking...ur eyes are still on the road..(can't speak for others...but for myself, yes...)
therefore, it is a crime...even walkie-talkies are not spared...i was recently served with a stern warning by mobile squad for holding my talkie... -

1. Gameboy

strictly speaking, all those things which u tot would not kena one will also get u into trouble. this is a common misconception. as long as tp catch u driving with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand not using to shift gear, u are already in trouble.Originally posted by ndsef:I know this topic is probably posted before, but I just want to say something...

Let me show you an example of someone who wasn't holding a mobile phone while driving:
Just 2 days ago, I was driving down the KJE towards Woodlands, and there was this middle aged man driving a Hyundai Sonata (auto) talking to someone on his mobile phone using hands-free kit. How and why do I know all this? Because the IDIOT was doing 70 on the center lane while a long queu of traffic was behind him. I was directly behind him!
He wasn't holding the mobile phone, both his hands were on the steering wheel, but when he talked, he forgot that there are other motorists around him.
This, is why the Traffic Police does not encourage the use of mobile phones while driving. If you have something critical to talk over the mobile phone, PLEASE, stop somewhere and talk!!!
If you find that you cannot handle driving and talking on your mobile phone via hands-free, please don't try to. Some people's left and right brain don't work very well that way. This is why not everyone can become a drummer, and not everyone can become a guitarist, and some can't sing and play an instrument at the same time!!!
Unless you wanna look cool or stylo and kill everyone by singing out of tune. -
TP reserves the right to stop any vehicle as long as they find u a hazard on the road, be it HP or eating or drinking.

True. I got it first-hand from the TP customer service line. If they caught you for dangerous driving while receiving a phone call, whether you have 2 hands on the wheel or not, they will still charge you with hand-phone driving. Thus minor offences like "not signalling when changing lane, S$70", will because 6 D.points and S$1000.Originally posted by Larry:TP reserves the right to stop any vehicle as long as they find u a hazard on the road, be it HP or eating or drinking. -
