One day, people might understand that whether the engine is running or not does not determine whether the person in the driving seat is "driving". That day will probably only come when we're all driving electric or hybrid cars where a running ICE is not really related to whether you're moving or not.

Was this the case posted on here?
Anyways... What baffles me is why a modern car with S/S doesn't have Bluetooth or anyone who can afford such a car can't shell out a fiver for a holder? We all probably see £100k+ cars with dickheads driving them whilst holding the phone. Technophobia maybe? This post has been edited by TMC Towcester: Tue, 23 May 2023 - 12:59 |
