No, not that one, we all do that.
There was an article in the media over the weekend about the use of mobile phones whilst driving. Now, we all know what the law says, or do we?
When riding or driving, my phone, historically, has always been in my pocket where I can't get to it so there was no chance of me falling foul of the law by accident. If I wanted to use the phone, then I did it via the Garmin.
However, the article I read (source unknown now) stated that it was unlawful to touch any device, whilst driving, which was capable of receiving or transmitting data.
Now, that is the first time I've seen that definition. My Garmin XT was certainly capable of receiving data whilst on the move; traffic status, weather etc. etc.
And was it also capable of transmitting data when it uses Bluetooth to communicate with my Sena headset?
Since I have started using a second phone as my navigation device, I removed the SIM card so I could demonstrate that it wasn't really a phone if I was stopped for poking the screen whilst on the move which is little different from poking the screen of a sat nag or even poking the heater controls in the car.
So, what is allowed and what isn't beyond the obvious of dialling a number on the screen or texting the undertaker?
