I see a lot of woman using mobile phones whist driving and very rarely see any men chatting on the phone using their mobile.

Why don't they get hands free for the car

do they not know how to shop in halfords or the like to purchase a handsfree set for their mobile and not break the law

AIBU to think that they put others in danger instead of spending a few bob on a handsfree set?

Oh if any men want to own up to doing this feel free - or mention any men you have seen - its juts i don't happen to to have seen any men doing this opposed to a couple woman a day chatting away.

one woman had fag in one hand and phone in the other - it was quite amazing if it hadn't been so stupid Shock

I passed a lorry driver (male Hmm) on the M25 the other day, driving through narrow lanes in the roadworks while eating pasta with a fork from the bowl perched on his lap Shock

I see men and women doing this all the time. Both just as bad as each other imho

I've seen plenty of men using phones whilst driving - probably more than I have men Grin

Anyway using hands free sets isn't much safer. Research has shown that your concentration level is lowered considerably whether you're holding the phone you're talking into, or not. So there. YABU.

Duh - obviously I meant 'women' at the end of that sentence

I see loads of men doing it, but rarely see women.
