I imagine the majority here do too, if they are honest. Not me. I ignore incoming calls (they are listed on the phone, so you can always call them back later). If I must make a call, I pull off the road AND put the car keys on the top of the dash - I don't want to give a passing plod the least excuse. (Not that they seem to worry about it round here.) So not everyone does it. -- Rich ============================== I don't approve of signatures, so I don't have one.

I can honestly say I have *never* experienced that. I do use my mobile when driving, but *only* with a hands free kit, and only for short calls. I have never once had a call drop, nor any difficulty in hearing the other person while driving. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all.
