Like what? That only a selfish, irresponsible halfwit would even think about texting whilst at the wheel of a motor vehicle?

It seems eminently reasonable that such content should be allowed to remain, given the circumstances.

Comment on the offence yes.
Comments aimed at him because of who he is or his business interests no.
Hope that clarifies it for you.

Speak for yourself I know I haven't!

Good on you for re-opening it.

So it would be inappropriate to point out the irony of a person who makes his living from accident litigation being convicted of precisely the kind of activity that is likely to cause an accident?

I didnt say it was right but i have been texted and read the text.

I agree, considering he is an accident lawyer he will be more than aware of the deaths such behaviour has caused, it is disgraceful behaviour.

And he calls us cabbages

I see you had your spell check on this time round

Stupid and irresponsible thing to do, whoever you are.

Has anybody been a passenger when a friend answers a hand-held phone when driving? I always feel torn between pointing out that they really shouldn't be doing it and not wanting to be a 'bad guest'. Some people, including friends of mine, seem to view it as no big deal and I don't want to come across as prissy or fall out with them. Nor, on the other hand do I want to have to help scrape a pedestrian off the bonnet. Same with speeding. I just tend to make excuses to avoid been in the same car, which, now I think about it, is a bit of moral cowardice - it doesn't reduce the chance of an accident, just my chance of being there.

Which is better, IYO?

a. Laid back, polite moral passivity

or

b. Socially responsible interfering busybody
