The courts would (and have) disagree. There was a case some years ago of a motorist being convicted for travelling at exactly 70 mph in the outside lane for miles. The court took the view that whilst anybody who went past her would have been breaking the law, that did not permit her to break the law.

So why do users wave their hands about? Even when driving! I was on the back seat of a coach going to Cambridge on 26 March last year and the driver behind was using one hand to hold her phone and the other to wave about - i.e. no hands on the wheel. I have a picture of it. We were on a coach because we were celebrating an anniversary and had picnic bags containing champagne. That's how I know that date. Mary
