Posted By Ian Bennett Since the banning the use of mobile phones whilst driving came into effect, new technology giving total "handsfree" is commonplace. Has anyone assessed or seen risk comparisons between the various types of "handsfree" kits. We have banned "handsfree" in our Policy but I am reviewing the Policy and would like some advice on the new sets. Basically are there any kits out there that are safer to use now? Thanks in anticipation

Posted By Robert K Lewis JK Here we are again - Is this the 15 minute distraction window rule once more from Australia? I wonder when this one will go away. I think there has to be responsibility on drivers to terminate any call from anybody if he recognises that there are traffic hazards to which the driver cannot respond. Still I would shoot the idiot in the Rolls this morning on the M62 at the M606 juction who was driving in nose to tail traffic with his mobile in his hand and attached to his ear. Only needed two lanes though to accommodate his wanderings. Bob
