To think this reporter should be charged

I've just put the news on to watch the weather and they showed a reporter who was driving down the motorway filming the weather conditions and traffic on the other side of the road ON HIS MOBILE PHONE WHILST DRIVING!

I think it is disgusting that he is risking other peoples lives by doing something so dangerous and unnecessary and he should be charged by the police.

I've just seen another news bulletin with someone doing the same thing. Surely if it is illegal to talk on the phone whilst driving it must be illegal to use it as a video camera whilst driving? Absolute idiots

Yes, i would have thought it was against the law, too.

Can you link to it, so I can complain?

Sorry, it was on the BBC news channel so I can't link to it.

Can you imagine if they were to film themselves crashing into something or someone- I bet that wouldn't be aired.

I thought that but I hope something gets done about it. It's dangerous enough on the roads when it snows without dickheads doing that!
