    Seriously? You think nearly double the speed limit in what was most likely residential zone is "laugh out loud" funny?

    TBH I'm glad you've been taken off the road as it might save somebody's life and teach you a valuable lesson with regards to not driving like a moron

    Ah stop now. That's sensationalist bull **** and you know it.

    No, which goes to show what bull**** unlocking your phone being points in this instance is.

    I have been driving for 8 years in a provisional, unaccompanied mostly with no plates displayed and have not got any points ever. I don't think you can be that unlucky. You must draw attention to yourself. The part with you just sitting in the car park I don't really believe.

    You have have been driving for eight years and can't pass a simple test to get a full license . Yeah you are a terrible driver

    Sucks about your job. Pretty much great news for other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians though.

    But is the offence "unlocking your phone" or using your phone while driving? Why should what you are doing with the phone decide if you get points or not.

    It might be harsh, but we only have their word for why they had their phone in the car.

    Hyperbole much?

    I agree that from what we've been told the OP can't have much argument with the points s/he's got (like why didn't they have the N plates up :confused:) but lets not lose the run of ourselves altogether!

    Most deaths are caused by speed or alcohol or distracted driving. OP was caught doing 92km/h (motorway speeds) in a 50 (residential zone). OP was also caught checking his phone while driving. OP is a potential killer, not hyperbole.

    Why oh why oh why would you not display N plates, which is an offence that carries 2 points, when you are one point away from losing your licence? It is beyond belief

    No one said he killed someone. He said he could have. If someone is willing to drive at 92 in a 50 zone that person is likely to exhibit that behavior constantly.

    So, no he didn't kill anyone but he is highly more likely to injure or kill than other drivers who follow the rules.

    Given the fact he is facing a ban for multiple offenses at this point, clearly doesn't give a ****.

    Can only go on what he's saying. Why automatically believe he's lying?

    Because it is human nature to downplay this sort of stuff. Plus the odds of someone getting caught the only time they touched their mobile phone must be pretty high.

    You do realize that every driver is a potential killer?

    Legally there's a difference between a cradle that is wired into and forms part of the carkit, and the likes of a universal cradle with the phone using Bluetooth.

    Yeah but that response. I'd say he's the same muppet that merges onto a motorway at 60 because speed kills and if you are going slow your indestructible in a car. And a safe driver.

    Why they had their phone in the car? Does anyone leave their house without their phone these days? Do you never have your phone in the car? Mine is in the windscreen holder every single day.

    I keep mine in my trousers pocket when driving.

    That's amazing logic. Seriously, that's the **** they put in motivation posters.

    I don't think I've ever been in awe of such a stupid comment so early in the morning. I bet you were the head of your school's debating club.

    Just haven't bothered doing it yet.

    My point to is the op must be drawing attention to himself.

    Absolute impeccable driver.

    There was no "logic" in my post.

    It was a statement of fact.

    Completely irrelevant and unfounded. You clearly have a view that your imposing onto him which has nothing to do with the thread or dangers of driving 92kph in again what was likely a residential area.
